no boot mode in bios, how do I flash a usb and isntall windows 10

Mantas · March 2020

I"am getting really frustrated as I cannot install windows 10 from the bios there is no option to select boot mode nothing just windows boot manager and that's it. I recently updated to the newest bios from acer 1.13. Now I'm lost completely because I don't know how to install windows on my Predator Triton 500. Any solutions??

I'm happy to announce that I've resolved the issues my self. What I did is go to the BIOS settings and pressed f9 that restored default settings and then I turned off secured boot, and enabled f12 boot option pressed f10 to save and when the PC restared presed f12 and the bootable USB showed up. Hope this helps to those who face the same issues

@Mantas set a supervisor password and disable secure boot to boot from a USB drive enter boot menu on boot and don't forget to enable it back after you finish and remove the password but you should be able to stock recovery clean install ALT+F10 on boot

Sorry for a long response time

. Unfortunately I've already done that, disabled secure boot and set up a password, but there's still no boot option available just windows boot manager!! On my previous PC's when I opened BIOS settings there's always an option to boot from usb or select from which devices to boot from. please help because I don't understand how am I suppose to install windows.

@Mantas don't worry set bios mode to UEFI TO legacy then boot in pen drive by following my above post

Mantas · March 2020

@GAMING6698 how am I supposed to change from UEFI, if I cant even change boot mode. I'll include pictures that you would get a better understanding and also in msinfo32 BIOS MODE is set to UEFI.

GAMING6698 · March 2020

@Mantas so if you want to boot in USB with UEFI MODE.You need to make bootable USB in GPT Partition through rufus.so format your USB .run rufus select window Iso and set partition to GPT NOT MBR

I tried that, I have set up a bootable usb, but when I try to install from it by pressing f12 the only option I can select is windows boot manager as I've said.
