I have a ACER Swift 3 (model sf314-56),it writes no "No bootable device".

After i did a little research i found out that there is no boot mode option in bios even after i enabled f12 boot menu

here is some pictures for more explanation.

Your M.2 SSD 256GB boot drive shown in bios above caption as HDD0 is present so the Intel SSDSCKKW256G8 M.2 SSD boot drive is physically working. First try to take the M.2 SSD drive out and clean its pins and the M.2 SSD laptop pins as they might be dirty or have deposits that could be stopping the drive from booting, do that and reboot the laptop and see if it boots correctly.

If it dosent then your boot drive operating system "boot sector files are corrupted" and you need to get into the Advanced section of the windows and do this to repair them so that the latop boots:

1. Insert the Windows installation media with a bootable USB.
2. Select language, keyboard settings, and click on “Repair your computer.”
3. Choose “Troubleshoot”, then "Advanced options"

If the above doesn't work then you need to do a clean install of windows on the M.2 SSD boot drive , if you have valuable data then you need to recover the data before you do a clean install otherwise you will lose all your data. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

There isn't normally a boot option in the BIOS per se. Instead you use the boot menu (F12) to get a list of bootable devices. if the drive has failed or the EFI image is corrupt you will get the error message you are seeing. Boot from a Windows install flash drive using the boot menu, then navigate to the Repair option and command prompt. From there use diskpart to look at the drive and it's partitions. You should have a small (100MB) partition for EFI, one or two small (500MB to a couple of GB) recovery partitions and the main system partition. Use the option to add a drive letter for the EFI partition and exit diskpart. Now you should be able to see the files in that partition. If you get failures anywhere in that process then likely the drive is bad…
