I am trying to fix the above AIO. It has a 2 Tb hard drive and a once-bootable 256 SSD in the M2 PCIE slot. It no longer boots from the SSD. What puzzles me is that the AMI BIOS from 2019 seems to be lacking the usual options I expect to see, e.g. UEFI, Secure Boot, boot choices, they are not mentioned even in Advanced nor in Boot sections. Looking in Security there is no BIOS password locking me out of further settings. When the AIO tried to boot it simply takes me straight to BIOS. Not even a "operating sysytem not found" no errors at all 🙄

I should add this is not an attempt at a new upgrade, it was booting fine for 2-3 years

Hi Fasttrack,

it means that the Bios or UEFI in your PC doesn't find a bootable medium. That means your booting drive is somehow corrupted, a  logical  or  electronical defect.

Thanks Daddle indeed I found a spare 128Gb M2 and Windows installed fine and now boots. Mystery why the BIOS is missing so many common features?
