Help BIOS Issue

Go to solution Solved by johnno23,

in bios go to drive menu and select USB. 

also just use a simple USB 2 port on the front of the case as most motherboards will run thru a list of options to boot.

if the drive was formatted fat  and the windows install is placed correctly the bios will simply run thru the options of CDrom hard drive 1 etc etc till it finds the USB.

Choosing boot from USB simply makes it go straight to the windows installer.

Hi so today I've installed my new ssd (Samsung 980 1tb) and I can't find my usb windows 11 boot device in my bios. I've selected tpm 2.0 and nothing seems to work. Even taking csm support off it still won't show. Is there supposed to be a usb device slot I should put it on or what. Please help!
