I found an industrial-grade computer using Windows 10?
I found an industrial-grade computer using Windows 10?
I recently acquired a computer in a manufacturing setting. I decided to erase it completely by partitioning the hard drive. However, I have an external USB DVD drive and a Windows 10 copy on DVD, but the BIOS isn't recognizing my drive. It only shows [Windows Boot Manager (p1: B56m41bc1dc-27)]... I'm confused.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
I have an external USB DVD drive and a copy of Windows 10 DVD, but the BIOS doesn’t recognize my drive.
You can make a bootable USB installer for your operating system using Windows Media Creation Tools; visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software.../windows10 under "Create Windows 10 installation media."
After installing offline, you’ll need to download the drivers for your industrial machine beforehand. This raises the question of the PC’s make and model. If you can’t find it, check for stickers on the system and share images. Upload them to a platform like Imgur so we can review them.
Activate CSM in the BIOS, which might also be referred to as legacy mode...test.
For any existing system, simply dividing the drive isn't enough; you need to completely erase it. Or, begin with a fresh blank drive. Restart using the USB if possible.
Is there a method to accomplish this via the bios?...that's all I can reach for.
In another operating environment, set up the USB to install Windows 10. Then, investigate how this setup allows booting from the USB drive. Likely involves some BIOS configuration.
Finally!!......first I had to turn on the legacy setting under USB configuration.....then I needed to turn off the boot priority: Windows Boot Manager......then I had to activate the CMS.....it worked!!....thank you and everyone for your assistance!
