I’m stumped.
Have Win11 on this computer,
and Win10 on the disk removed from previous computer.
Win10 disk is connected via USB to my Win11 computer.
Using your procedure in sample 2,
booting from USB without BIOS or UEFI,
the last window with “Use a device” does not show,
and so I can’t choose “EFI USB Device”.
Just hold Shift key while selecting restart. That will put you straight to the screen in settings for selecting option for next boot.
I need a script that will do that. Must be something we can do to get windows to select the USB for booting 1 time. Don’t like my computer to be set to always boot from USB, as can be done in UEFI.
I tried boot from a USB flash… but during installation I get an error message “we couldn’t find any drives, am kinda frustrated… it seems the hard-drive cannot be detected.
I was able to boot using bios/boot menu, however once I select in grub what I want , it boots off that with a blank cursor, then restarts into windows 10.

First option did not work, there was no option to select where to boot from.
Did you try the other options and found another that works for on your computer?
