Boot Device Not Found

It's weird I'm replying my own question, but I want those who suffer from the same situation
Boot Device Not Found while booting with UEFI. I tried many ways but this one is the best:

Requirements :

+ Windows iso installation

+ USB

+ optional : you can use a program to create bootable USB such as Rufus

Note :

This method will wipe all your data (to back up try to boot with legacy support enabled)

Step 1:

using a program or diskpart burn image to the USB and make sure the usb is gpt

- CMD :

Diskpart

list disk

select (reference to the usb on list disk)

clean

convert gpt

then copy files to it

Step 2:

disable legacy support and secure boot in BIOS, the usb will boot automatically

step 3:access the repair function and then chose cmd, then run :

diskpart

select disk 0

clean

convert gpt

you can complete installation as usual the problem is fixed !

 

Error: boot device not found

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We appreciate your effort on this. We understand how it could be when the computer doesn’t work as it is supposed to.



However, it would be great if you can provide the details requested below to help you in a better way:

• What is the complete error message that you are receiving?
  
• When exactly do you receive the error message?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  

We can try performing a Startup repair on the computer and see if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. On a working PC, follow the steps to create installation media from
   
   How to create Windows 10 installation DVD/USB flash drive.
   
2. Insert the DVD/USB flash drive to the HP computer and turn it on.
   
3. On the initial setup screen, select the language and other
   preferences and click on Next. (If you don't see the setup screen, your PC might not be set up to boot from a drive. Check your PC manufacturer's website for info on how to change your PC's boot order, and then try again.)
   
4. Now, click on Repair your computer.
   
5. Click on Troubleshoot, and then
   Advanced options.
   
6. Now, click on Startup Repair.
   

You may also refer the steps mentioned in the HP article

Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.
