hi all
how to disable UEFI?
how to put windows on a different drive? There is no disk drive in the package, it does not see a USB flash drive with BIOS.
Maybe a bios update will help?

    Create your windows USB disk 
    Enable F12 in BIOS then reboot with F12 or Fn F12.

    with F12 sees only the boot messenger, no disks can't see flash drive in bios

    My F12 Enable has disappeared with newer bios's or ??. I think that is ENABLE BOOT. then reboot and tap F12 ,or Fn + F12

    Note that the USB will have to be bookable as WIN CREATE USB TOOL will do.

    You can't change to Legacy boot mode with most modern computers and you won't need it here. What specifically are you trying to do? Your XC-895 likely has an NVMe SSD mounted in the M.2 slot, not a HDD.

    There is no DVD and no ssd in this package. I put the ssd on and I want to put windows on it

    I never posted a link for the USB TOOL CREATE. But for the future, You can do it on another computer. This will create a bootable USB drive.
    Go into bios and Enable Boot then reboot using F12 or Fn + F12

    What is a flashcard ? if's it is an USB then do as I said:  Go into bios and Enable Boot then reboot using F12 or Fn + F12

    Your drive will have to be formatted as so:

    If it's something like an SD card, it will not work. Booting isn't allowed from them.
