This is an awesome video thank you so much. you saved my 790 for windows 11 pro :) All I had to do extra after your instructions was delete the UEFI C: profile option and re add the profile again for some weird reason but it works every time. :p
Tried this setup, bo no boot device, it wont start on autonaticly, i have dark screen, power Light on, hard drive ld blinking... I am starting to give up on that laptop tbh 1h trying to turn it on even
Greetings friend. How do I make the list of options or the "Boot List Option" appear in the "Boot Sequence" Option???, I want to format my computer but it does not read the USB memory, it even does not read or does not access the drive Internal DVD or CD, also won't read an External DVD drive
I think there's something wrong with the A22 BIOS. I put in a Windows 10 flash drive, and set the mode to UEFI and it doesn't detect the UEFI bootloader on the flash drive at all. It only shows legacy boot. When I try loading the win10 installer in legacy mode, the windows loading screen will show, but it never actually boots. Might have to throw this laptop away :(
I found a way to fix it but you will need a windows 10 USB or DVD, and a fresh ssd or hard drive partitioned for UEFI. On a clean install. You will need to delete the unpartitioned sector of the SSD/DVD. Make the storage space blank. Then instead of tapping “NEXT” which is just legacy partition. You have to tap “New”. This will set up a GPT written partition for UEFI and it will then be written by windows as “windows UEFI bootmanager”. Tap next after you tap the New. Windows will have to write a UEFI boot for you as it appears Dell did not complete the write dialogue to boot into UEFI.
Also, I'm running an optiplex 790 that was a gift. Usually UEFI is pronounced by saying each individual letter (you-ee-eff-eye) instead of pronouncing it as a word. My goal for this computer is to install Linux Mint onto it but legacy boot is preventing it from booting from the optical disk.
My system says "file not found" when I select UEFI boot. But I noticed my BIOS is A13 and the latest is A22. I'm going to try to update my BOIS and try again.
@@PcexpertTheRealExpert Thanks for responding. I updated the BIOS and while trying a few different things I saw that the 790 has a class... what did they say, a class 1 BIOS that will never work with anything except windoze. I'm not sure but at least this is a guinea pig computer. I successfully put Linux Mint on a 7010 and a 9010 but when I saw the advice concerning class 1(?) BIOS I stopped. Thanks for the information. The on board windoze was made in Legacy mode and I'm not sure how to change it if necessary.
Why did you change the motherboard? It's damaged? I see that you have the reference 0D881F and you change it to 06FW8P, what is the difference? I have a damaged motherboard (06FW8P) and I have to change it but I don't know if I buy the same or I don't know if the 0D881F is more recent. Which of these 2 do you recommend?
The motherboard was not working. For this system, we have not found an issue witht he different version of the motherboard in terms of making changes. Some system you must have the same model, on this one I believe that is not the case. I recommend the one with NO northbridge fan, those fans tend to get noisy.
Not sure about the 1060TI, I would expect that it will work though just may need additional VIDEO POWER adaptors, need to check the card. The S20 is only BIOS.
