Next, click "Boot" from the menu list at the top. "Boot Option #1" should
show the device that you intend to install your operating system. If the device
does not show up in this menu, and is a standard SSD/HDD plugged into a
SATA port, proceed down to "UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities" at the
bottom. In this menu, the top item will be "1st Boot" and will have a pulldown
menu on the right. Click on the pulldown menu and select the intended drive;
this will make the drive appear on the previous menu. If the drive doesn't show
at this point, please check the troubleshooting section on Page 140.
If you plan on using the M.2/U.2/SATA Express as a boot device, click on or
navigate to the "Advanced" menu, select "Onboard Device Configuration" and
enable the desired port.
Once this is done, press F10 to save and exit, plug in your operating system
installation medium (likely a thumb drive) and Windows 10 should be able to
boot to M.2 / U.2 / SATA Express without issue.
*Note* Some device manufacturers require specific drivers for HDDs or SSDs
(such as M.2) before Windows can detect the drive for installation. Please make
sure to consult the manufacturer's instructions for your HDD or SSD before
attempting to install Windows to determine if additional drivers are needed.
