Product: Pavilion 15-cs0093ca
Operating System: Linux

After not using my laptop for 6 months, a flood of Windows updates along with a poorly timed BSOD completely corrupted my Win10 OS to the point that recovery no longer works. I'm currently posting this off of a Linux Mint Live environment I have running off of a 16GB USB stick, and am trying to make a bootable Win10 installation 64GB SD card (only other storage medium I have available to me) with no success so far. - every method doesn't show up in the UEFI boot and says 'no boot device found - insert a boot disk and press any key' if I select it in the BIOS boot. Does anyone know a way to create a bootable win10 installation SD card that will work with this laptop?

 

In the case that I can't isntall windows in any way I'd also like to know how to disable intel RST in order to install a full version of linux mint. Every guide I've found so far requires having windows installed.

The problem you're running into is that Windows PCs, even if they have SD card slots, can NOT boot from SD cards.

 

And unfortunately, you can't install Windows from inside Linux because even if you have an ISO file and mount it, you then have to be able to run setup.exe -- and you can't do that because it's a Windows app.

 

But you said you booted into Linux, so is that from a USB stick?  Usually, the BIOS/UEFI options that prevent booting from USB sticks don't care what is on the stick.  So if you have Windows media on a USB stick and that will not boot, then there's a problem with that stick or the creation of the Windows install media on it.

I'm running Linux from a 16GB USB stick, and using it to download and burn the ISO to an SD card plugged into the computer's built-in SD card slot. From your response I gather that I can't boot from the SD card slot, but can I boot from a USB SD card reader?
