  • Even if there was proper grammar and punctuation, it's still very unclear what the question is in the 1st place. Proper question should be as specific as possible and also end with a ? character.

1 Answer 1

Reset to default
2

Boot to BIOS, make sure nothing more unneeded is in the Boot order.

Now reset BIOS to default, save and exit.

Now start with a Lenovo or a Microsoft Windows 10 USB and install Windows.

That should work and it does on my Lenovo computers.
