College daughter is having boot issues.   

OMEN Laptop - 15-ek0013dx

 

Boot Device Not Found.  Please Install an operating system on your hard drive.  Hard Disk - (3FO)

UEFI Diagnostics on Storage: 

SMART Check : PASSED

Short DST: NOT AVAILABLE

PASS ID: 21828-94210-09656

We have since opened and cleaned pc.  Disconnected, reconnected battery.

Suspect SSD drive has gone bad.  How to check the SSD?

  - Intel : 32GB Optane / 512 GB NAND  PCIe M.2

 

if need to replace, how to get new SSD bootable, Windows reinstalled, etc? 

We did make a Windows installation USB.  Note:  the laptop did not startup using this USB, even though UEFI Boot order contains:

- OS Boot Manager (Windows Boot Manager)

- USB Flash Drive/USB Hard Disk (note this is in bold)
