It seems to be no way to install windows 10 on Dell m6700 directly. It is needed to install windows 7 first and then upgrade to windows 10. How do I override these procedures ? You can put a pre-installed windows 10 ssd/harddisk in a HP laptop and it will automatically change the settings/configuration and run it right away but this won't happen to Dell or at least to m6700. It doesn't even startup and the drive is seen to be unbootable. How to I fix this problem?

I tested several HP, Dell, and Lenovo laptops (direct installation of Windows 10 or using a bootable drive), none of them caused issues, but the m6700 model was different. I just didn’t understand why. From what I’ve seen, Dell tends to be a bit tricky.
I wasn't sure why the Windows 10 SSD wouldn't start on the M6700. Usually it boots but then freezes or shows an error. Now it displays "No boot drive found" (the information shown during startup).
