VX15 i5 can’t boot SSD M.2

I recently bought a Samsung evo 970 m.2 to use as my main drive on the vx15. But I’ve encountered many problems such as: I’ve made a bootable usb through rufus(uefi:ntfs) and in BIOS it shows up, but I won’t boot in legacy mode. In UEFI it doesn’t even appear(secure mode disabled) and the message “no bootable device” appears as well. I’ve also tried to migrate OS through mini tool partition and the SSD still won’t boot. I’m trying to make a clean installation, but I can’t even have my flash drive booted in this BIOS. It’s on the latest 1.06 version. If only I could boot the USB drive(tried all the ports), I guess I could solve the SSD issue by making a clean install.
I’ve been reading lots of threads and other forums and yet my issue continues.

Hi,
When you created the bootable drive, did you select GPT for partition scheme?
