    USB Boot From Mini PC
    « on: September 30, 2023, 10:43:42 AM »
    Got a new mini Benss PC with the N5095 processor and Windows 10 trying to boot from usb flash drive only two options SSD and GBE family controller this is what they don't tell you in the specs  a $500 dell desktop would let you boot from usb I'm sure. All I want to do is run XP and Windows 11 from same machine. Vdos not work good, partion hardrive into two then need to wipe drive clean then install each operating system separately if you can get all those key codes to work or use Oracle virtual might work only needs c++ which I do not have.

    Hi

    If yo hold the shift key when asking windows 10 to restart it will start in Advanced options menu, You then have the option to change how windows starts there is  the option to start from USB.
