I would like to install Windows 10 on an external SSD. For this I created a bootable USB stick via Windows ISO via Rufus. However, this runs on MBR and is therefore not bootable via UEFI by default and therefore does not appear as a bootable device in the BIOS.
I use a Huawei Matebook on which InsydeH2O version 1.22 is installed. Although the product brochure from Insyde Legacy OS provides support via CSM, I can't find this function anywhere in the BIOS.
In general, I noticed that I have very few functions available and after doing some Google research, I noticed that other people have much more than the "Main" tab available. For me, however, this is the only tab and I have no idea whether you can unlock the others or whether the BIOS in this version really should have so few functions.
Can one of the experts help me here?
Recreate the stick with the program: "ISO to USB" then you no longer have the problem
At Rufus you can choose extra GPT then it works that way.
It may be that the manufacturer cut the bios so that it is not possible to change them.
I only tried (because I wanted to save time) to switch the stick from MBR to GPT via EaseUS, but that didn't change anything. Then I tried to switch to Rufus to GPT, but interestingly after selecting my ISO, only MBR can be selected.
Thanks, I'll try!
However, my problem with the BIOS remains. I have to operate the SSD disk on MBR because a second hidden operating system is supposed to be on it via Veracrypt and that is not possible under GPT. This disk will not be bootable under the current setting…
You have the choice during the installation to create another partition on the disk and later you can put the other system on there directly?
