Acer swift 1 SF114-33, Intel Pentium Silver N5030 with 8 GB LPDDR4 and 256GB SSD NVME.
Hello everyone, so I received this laptop from a friend no longer need it but he kept the ssd nvme for personal data and my problem is that I can not get the laptop to boot from USB boot drive nor the nvme that has windows 10 Home installed.
The original nvme was formatted after copying the personal files, current installed nvme is not the original one, I tried m.2 sata ssd but the slot doesn't detect it, then I tried with other 2 nvme SSDs, one is a Reletech P400 512GB and the other one is a Samsung pm981 256GB, the pm981 was bought recently thinking that might need a OEM nvme for the laptop to work.
I tried putting installed windows 10 on both nvme but it won't do anything, freezed in acer logo. Also tried using several usbs with windows 10 installation in fat32 and ntfs and different linux distros with same result, stuck in acer logo or stuck at the linux distro grub background. Then I tried putting uefi shell in one usb and tried to boot the windows efi from there but same result.
A week ago I posted my problem in a different thread thinking I had the same problem but
@JackE pointed out that my problem is that the efi files fromthe nvme/USBs with windows/linux aren't trusted, so the bios gets stuck in the acer logo. Anyone knows how can I get a trusted efi file for this bios? Next I am going to upload several photos with bios configuration.
Thanks in advanced!
