What has happened to the classic boot priority option in the BIOS????

Call me old fashioned, but for some reason I am unable to understand the Boot tab in my new rigs BIOS.

In ALL of my previous rigs I have been able to select what I want to boot in what ever order I want to boot them in,  And it was clear cut as to what I was selecting in terms of device, drive, or media name.  

 

Now I go into my BIOS and there are three options,

#1 Windows Boot Manager

#2 On board NIC IPV4

#3 On board NIC IPV6

 

I cannot change any of these to anything else, only the option to disable.

 

I have tried using the File Browser Add Boot Option, and it takes me to this strangely complicated sequence of drive paths, and when I think I'm on the right track by selecting this option, the selections never end.

 

Where can I find the classic options menu if it even exists still?

Can't tell you without knowing what your mobo/system is. But yes it normally still exists.

Lmao yah laptops are bad, be happy you have a usable BIOS

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

It looks like you've found it but you don't think so because its not offering what you expected.  What are you trying to change it to?  I suspect if you plugged in a USB drive or the like it would show up there as an option

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
