Anyone know how to boot from USB? The bios is terrible, created w10 USB from the media creation tool.

Hit F12 when the pc is first starting and it should take you into the boot manager where you can select USB.

Uploaded pictures, bios doesn't make much sense to me, and the separate one for USB is enabled.

1530(atom z3775) latest bios just updated it.

That takes me to a diagnostic test, don't see anyway to boot from USB from threw.

Thanks depends how long you hold the up button for, to which one you get..
Got it booting from a 32bit USB but not 64bit.
Which is odd, says it's a 64bit CPU.

Can only assume they have something in to prevent 64bit?

it's just a terrible bios, but I've never found dell to be good with drivers, bios, CS etc.
Just one of mate used to get discounts from dell, thank god he's changed job.

oh well 32bit it is, just tried redoing 64bit usb on the drive I could get it to boot from and it wont, flat out refuses, boots 32bit image fine.

starting to regret not going Lenovo yoga 2, still paid my money and will live with it till I can afford something with a core m in it.

Right next issue, press a key on onscreen keyboard and every few words it'll type like 2-6 letters despite not pressing tithe key any longer.

Been to control panel> ease of use > keyboard but nothing seems to do anything. Wonder if those settings only apply to physical keyboards.

Seem to be a known issue with dell venue.
