I tried various options but nothing worked except legacy mbr boot installed SDD using F10 boot menu. 1. PC does not boot from any UEFI boot installed SDD/USB even when using F10 Boot Menu (Bios UEFI enabled). 2. PC does not allow installtion of W10 on GPT formatted sdd/partitions (Bios UEFI enabled). 3. Bios UEFI option enable/disable does not seem to have any effect. These are the options I tried. 1. Tried booting this SDD on another PC (Windows 10 64 bit SDD, legacy boot with mbr partition from this PC) and it boots fine without any problem. So it is not SDD defect or Windows10 defect. 2. Tried booting with Windows 10 installed UEFI SDD from another pc, it did not boot even with F10 boot menu option. 3. Tried to install W10 64bit with USB installation media (created with MediaCreationTool_22H2) and a GPT formated SDD. Installation steps did not allow instllation on GPT formatted partition/disk. 4. Tried USB UEFI installation media (created using Rufus), it did not boot even with F10 boot menu option. Finally is there a way to confirm whether the below SMBIOS table paramters are good and compatible with UEFI installation? >wmic baseboard Caption ConfigOptions CreationClassName Depth Description Height HostingBoard HotSwappable InstallDate Manufacturer Model Name OtherIdentifyingInfo PartNumber PoweredOn Product Removable Replaceable RequirementsDescription RequiresDaughterBoard SerialNumber SKU SlotLayout SpecialRequirements Status Tag Version Weight Width Base Board Win32_BaseBoard Base Board TRUE FALSE Intel Corporation Base Board TRUE DX38BT FALSE TRUE FALSE BQBT749000GF OK Base Board AAD85848-503 >wmic bios BiosCharacteristics BIOSVersion BuildNumber Caption CodeSet CurrentLanguage Description EmbeddedControllerMajorVersion EmbeddedControllerMinorVersion IdentificationCode InstallableLanguages InstallDate LanguageEdition ListOfLanguages Manufacturer Name OtherTargetOS PrimaryBIOS ReleaseDate SerialNumber SMBIOSBIOSVersion SMBIOSMajorVersion SMBIOSMinorVersion SMBIOSPresent SoftwareElementID SoftwareElementState Status SystemBiosMajorVersion SystemBiosMinorVersion TargetOperatingSystem Version {7, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 37, 40, 41, 42} {"INTEL - 7d6"} Default System BIOS enUS Default System BIOS 0 0 1 {"enUS"} Intel Corp.
