For devices that I've bought in the last ~10 years (i.e. coming with UEFI, between Thinkpad T430s in 2012 and NUC11 few weeks ago), the default was:
- try to boot the internal devices
- then try external (some even distinguish optical and key fobs)
- then try PXE
and only when all of these fail, message the user "no bootable device found".
- peoplefromibiza 4y agoI remember some desktop computers did, but it was when external boot devices where CD-ROM And even then this message appeared Press any key to boot from CD... https://i.imgur.com/VyZOuob.png https://i.imgur.com/VyZOuob.png
- vetinari 4y agoIt is legacy boot, not UEFI. And I vaguely remember that this message came from the boot loader on the CD, of all places. It was a convenience for the user, who forgot the CD in the drive.
- peoplefromibiza 4y ago> It was a convenience for the user, who forgot the CD in the drive. because computers should never automatically boot from external or removable storage that's why a more modern version of the same message exists https://i.imgur.com/JVW8c7b.png https://i.imgur.com/JVW8c7b.png
- vetinari 4y agoThis is what I'm getting: https://imgur.com/a/C7NNXCr https://imgur.com/a/C7NNXCr It won't boot from USB if the internal drive boots, or unless I manually change boot order.
- ciupicri 4y agoThat's a message from the Windows installer. Normally you would have to remove the optical disc after the files are copied or change the boot order/devices when the first stage of the installation ends and the computer is rebooted. With this trick, you don't have to do anything.
