Can't boot Windows ISO in UEFI mode

[Vullurian]

Im trying to install Win10 to my new FreeDOS laptop but when i select the boot mode as "UEFI with CSM" it boots straight to BIOS so i can't access the boot device screen unless i change it to legacy (which i dont want to use). Im using an USB Win10 ISO /w rufus.

What should i do?

Does all of your hardware support UEFI? When in your BIOS, is there more than one setting for your boot priority (my desktop has stuff like "USB" and "UEFI USB" or something like that. My video card is a dual-bios. I have to use a switch for UEFI mode, or nothing will boot.

Either way, you should really be searching Google for your problem with your computer model as one of the keywords

Something tells me your laptop doesn't suport. UEFI.

Have you tried to create a bootable usb drive using Microsoft's Windows 10 creator too?

Yeah i tried both. Its a new laptop (MSI GS63) so i think it should support it.

Is SecureBoot enabled or disabled?

Then the only thing I can think of is to make sure that your USB is formatted as GPT (as opposed to MBR) before you burn the ISO onto it.

I'll see if I can fish up the instructions during my lunch break later on.

Yes its formatted as GPT thats why i used rufus D:

Thats exactly what i did until the boot menu part because i cant access it unless i set the BIOS boot mode to legacy and if its legacy i cant boot the usb as UFEI...

If your UEFI firmware has an option to start an EFI shell, or to browse devices for EFI files to launch, see if you can navigate to your USB drive's EFI/boot folder, and if you can, you should be able to just run bootx64.efi (or whatever it's named) directly, which should start Windows setup.

If you want to boot Windows from usb (using Rufus),

Make sure to choose "sheme BIOS OR UEFI" and "windows to go".
If windows to go isn't available, please redownload the iso.

Using that option, you're sure it's bootable for devices that doesn't support as well.



To make a Windows install stick:
Again choose for "sheme for BIOS OR UEFI". Don't select Windows 2 go this time.


NOTE: Some devices like IBM/Lenovo, it's required you format your USB pen as FAT32!

Boots to BIOS still

As far as I know all modern computers have the option to set the boot drive order in bios. You might be able for instance to make it always boot from the usb drive first.

Brand and Model number of laptop would help.
