  2. Install Windows 10 using UEFI bootable USB thumb drive

    You need to go into you system bios and select allow uefi usb drive. Then add the UEFI usb drive to the boot menu

    better way to partition aand create an bootable usb.

    For the UEFI system, we can use these steps to create the bootable USB:

    1.Locate a 4GB or larger USB flash drive

    2.Open Diskpart and run the following command cmd admin type diskpart

    • Type DiskPart in the command prompt.
    • Type "List Disk” (make note of the disk number of the target USB drive).
    • Type "Select Disk X”, where X is the target USB drive noted in step 4.
    • Type "Clean”.
    • Type "Create Partition Primary”.
    • Type "format FS=fat32 quick”.
    • Type "Active”.
    • Type "Assign".
    • Type "Exit".

    Copy your ISO files to the drive and reboot

    never use UEFI it better to repartition and remove UEFI go with legacy bois

    Booting from USB with a locked UEFI

    UEFI does not recognize USB Boot drive

    Hi. I am trying to re-install Windows 10 (Version not sure) from USB flash drive on Lenovo Ideapad 100s. The boot drive was configured with MS Media Creation Tool. I can enter UEFI/BIOS with the Novu button in the Boot Option Menu but the flash drive is not recognized under EFI Boot Devices sub menu. I have disabled Secure Boot in the Setup menu as suggested on another website but to no avail. When I select EFI USB Device sub menu under the Boot Option Menu the boot drive is accessed and installation commences to the first screen but as soon as the installation starts the keyboard is disabled. I have tried using a USB keyboard - no success.
    BitLocker locked my notebook and I can't locate the key ....... looked evrywhere.....I think.
    Any suggestion would be appreciated.
