Lack of USB Boot option

dangergnome

I have a BeeLink EQ12 mini-pc with the Winbond 25X/Qseries Bios Chip and N95V104 firmware and I am unable to get it to boot from a USB drive (NVMe drive in an enclosure connected with a USB C cable). I have tried forcing the drive in Forced FDD and as a Hard Drive in the bios, but it is never in the boot options. Secure Boot is disabled and CSM is enabled. I also set it to allow UEFI and Legacy options for boot.

Hello there,
1.Please repeatedly press delete key as soon as you turn on the PC, go to BIOS. On Save&Exit page, please click Restore defaults, press enter to confirm, then press F4 to save.
2.Pls set the USB drive as the boot option#1 on the boot page in bios. Then pls click the F4 to keep this setting.

That got it. I had reset prior but I guess I changed other options before trying it. Thank you!
