I recently updated my bios on windows 10 after it restarted but can not boot now. What should I do ? In boot options I have "Harddisk" at first option but I do not see "Windows boot manager" text. I see 512 gb samsung m2 ssd at NVME information tab.

    OK
    did you copy your old BIOS settings before you flashed to the new BIOS / have any pictures on your cell phone to reference ?

    unfortunately, I did not copy bios settings. I am seriously fool about this things. I can take photos of current bios settings with phone.

    If its an issue with the BIOS Flash not working, you can
     
    Shutdown PC, pull the power from the wall, use the BIOS switch on your MB to go to second BIOS is an option when you have a BIOS issue
     
     
    Look at your Manual (link is above) ---> go to page 48 & 49 and Follow all steps
     
    (excerpt)
    HDD/SSD/M.2Setup

    Next, click “Boot” from the menu list at the top. “Boot Option #1” should show the device that you intend to install your operating system.

    If you are using a standard SSD/HDD connected to a SATA port, but the device is not present in the Boot Option #1 menu, scrolldown to “UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities” at the bottom. In this menu, the top item will be “1st Boot” and will have a pulldown menu on the right. Click on the pulldown menu and select the intended drive; this will make the drive appear on the previous menu. If the drive continues to be missing, please check the troubleshooting section on Page119.

    If you plan on using anM.2as a boot device, click on or navigate to the “Advanced” menu, select “Onboard Device Configuration” and enable the portwith your installed M.2 device.

    Once this is done, press F10 to save and exit, plug in your operating system installation medium (likely a thumb drive) and Windows 10 should be able to boot to the M.2 without issue.

    Additional information to assist with M.2 or PCIeinstallation can be found in the next section.

    *Note*Some device manufacturers require specific drivers for HDDs or SSDs (such as M.2) before Windows can detect the drivefor installation. Please make sure to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for your HDD or SSD before attempting to install Windows to determine if additional drivers are needed

    I do not see "UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities" at bottom when scroll down and I do not see "Harddisk:Windows Boot M... " at boot options anymore, last that does not try to boot windows that automaticly bring the BIOS screen what is the meaning of this ?

    I already did that but did not make any sense looks like windows10's boot on m2 damaged. I want to learn if thats possible to recover damaged windows boot from a usb windows10 installer. One more thing I should add if that makes sense, before updating I changed for sata AHCI to RAID restarted but that did not boot then I changed that back to AHCI then that booted correctly again. For that time I did not have any issue but I do not know if this damages windows boot. Then I updated and this happened.

    It takes the Bios a second boot to see your M.2 and Keep CSM Disabled
    On your MB the two bottom needs to be set to Enable (I only have One M.2 Drive)

     
     Set the Bios to use the PCIe Graphics Card and turn off the one on the CPU/MB

    I fixed it. I will tell what I did. First, I switched to the other BIOS as you told me before, to guarntee it. Then interestingly I switched boot mode to "LEGACY" and CSM config. to enabled but all settings are "UEFI" and network is do not load. After doing those my system (win10) booted. Of course I set m2 slots enabled at first. I was told to switch boot mode to "UEFI" but when I switched to "LEGACY" that worked.
     
    Now do I lose anything if I boot on "LEGACY" mode. And CSM enabled (All settings under here "UEFI" and only: network = do not load)
     
    Thank You.

    Legacy is bit slower, and less secure than uefi.

    So this means I did not installed it at "UEFI" mode but "LEGACY" mode before ? Now I went in system information and I see Bios mode is not UEFI but in my language "OLD". Is that possible to convert it to UEFI on running windows10 ?

    No Legacy is used to support Older Hardware and Older Operating Systems like Window 7
    CSM is "The Compatibility Support Module (CSM) is a component of the UEFI firmware that provides legacy BIOS compatibility by emulating a BIOS.
    Use to use Older Hardware
    Windows 10 is 100% UEFI and is best to install with CSM Disabled in the Bios more so with a M.2 NVMe Drive.
    It would be best to do a Fresh OS install of Windows 10 and use only the Drive you are going to install the OS on and disconnect all other Drives.
