I have spent about 5 weeks trying to get my computer to discover the HDD and each time I would boot up using the HDD/UEFI settings in the BIOS it would always return the message "No Bootable device".
Attempting to get around this problem, through experimentation discovered that the computer would log in using any other option with the legacy settings. (USB, DVD/CD) As long as I used the legacy configuration the computer would login fine. (no there is no data in any of the drive cd/dvd or USB.)
When saying it would log in fine means that the computer would log to the OS. However when attempting any type of upgrade it would always lock up during the install.
I cam across an article discussing the need to format the HDD with the FAT32 configuration.
I did that which led to resolving my issue with the "No Bootable Device"
Windows 10 installed perfectly.
So my question is, does windows take the correct format and run with it setting up all partitions correctly or is there other adjustments required to have the correct partitions setup?
