Hello,

 

I bought a Stream 8 and upgraded to Windows 10. Now I treid to do a clean install from a USB device.

Problem is, that the UEFI won´t let me do that. USB Stick won´t be recognized or I am doing something wrong.

 

Someone with the same Problem, any ideas or a guideline?

You are using an OTG adapter?  Does the USB drive boot on another computer?  You might also try disabling secure boot in the UEFI setup.

I have a similar issue me too. I wan't to boot a linux distro from usb, I disabled secure boot and configured usb as priority device but it doesn't work.
This live usb was properly created with the x64 architecture and works perfectly on my laptop.

Is there any combination of keys I should press to enter bios setup? I've been trying pressing every F key (F1, F2,...F12) in the same session of restarting but I did not succede in enter bios 😞
It's so frustrating to hold such a good device and not have the possibility to boot from wherever I need...

Could anyone help me please?

You did not mention which Linux distro you are trying to boot, the Stream tablet has a 32-bit UEFI with no legacy boot mode and many Linux live images only support 64-bit UEFI's so some tweaks to the USB may be required.  There is more information here.

 

To enter the BIOS you hold the volume down button while powering up.  I'm confused why you ask since you already disabled secure boot etc. so you have already accessed the BIOS setup menu?

I hold a hp omni10 actually, a hp tablet windows as well (sorry for OT, now I see that the 3d is about Stream).  It comes whith x64 processor and the linux distro is 64 bit. Yes, I entered bios and boot setup but I could not see usb device in the list, it seems that booting from usb is not possible...
I posted the question on the omni 10 section, thank you for replying me!

finally solved it.

secure boot should be disabled and the usb stick needs to be formatted as fat 32 with 16 kb. otherwise the usb stick wont show up.
