Predator bootable pendrive problem

[Ritzkpl]

So i recently bought Acer predator helios 300(G3-572) core i5 8gb.

It came with windows 10 home, so i want to have windows 10 pro so i tried to  reinstall/upgrade with bootable pendrive with windows 10 iso.

But the bootable pendrive is not detected as bootdrive in the BIOS.

I made the pendrive  bootavble with windows 7 USB DVD tool which works well with my old dell laptop with win 10 and also with Rufus tool.

What can i do to make the predator detect my bootable pendrive as a bootdrive?

Have you tried another drive? Really ony old USB drive would work. I did it with some super generic 8GB stick I pulled out of a Best Buy recycling bin.

 

If it doesn't work with other USB sticks that'd be an issue

if you want pro you can just puta  pro key and its running pro, no need for a reinstall.

I have settled with home for now but i need the bootable pendrive to be detected for future problems that might need a reinstall

Switch from MBR to GPT in Rufus (or vice versa), but you don't need to do that to upgrade. Just go to settings, Windows Update, Activation, and enter the Pro key. It will download an upgrade for you.
