I have a Dell Inspiron 11" P24T laptop from about 2016-ish. My kids were using it for online-school, but it was going really slow, so I initiated a system restore using the Dell wizard on the PC. The charger plugged into the laptop wasn't working and the PC died in the middle of the restore, and now it says there is no bootable devices.


I flashed a new Windows 10 ISO to a USB (I formated as ExFAT, to accomodate the large 'install.wim' file) My Bios doesn't allow for USB in priority list unless I change it to Legacy instead of UEFI, but it still gives me the error message... I have to add a boot option from file browser. This way, it finds the USB, but it doesn't see anything on the USB to add as a boot option.


I can't find anyone solving this with the BIOS menus like mine. Its running Aptio Setup Utility BIOS version 2.4.0.


Anyone have help/ideas?
