Also, I'm running an optiplex 790 that was a gift. Usually UEFI is pronounced by saying each individual letter (you-ee-eff-eye) instead of pronouncing it as a word. My goal for this computer is to install Linux Mint onto it but legacy boot is preventing it from booting from the optical disk.
My system says "file not found" when I select UEFI boot. But I noticed my BIOS is A13 and the latest is A22. I'm going to try to update my BOIS and try again.
@@PcexpertTheRealExpert Thanks for responding. I updated the BIOS and while trying a few different things I saw that the 790 has a class... what did they say, a class 1 BIOS that will never work with anything except windoze. I'm not sure but at least this is a guinea pig computer. I successfully put Linux Mint on a 7010 and a 9010 but when I saw the advice concerning class 1(?) BIOS I stopped. Thanks for the information. The on board windoze was made in Legacy mode and I'm not sure how to change it if necessary.
I have a 790, it does not work, also the Boot Manager under Boot Sequence is missing.
Would this be similar to the optiplex 3020?
My mouse doesn’t move at all on that screen
Has anyone figured out how to do this with Dell 790?
i have a dell optiplex 9010 idk if it works

Make sure your source disk for the installation is made in a mode compatible with UEFI boot, That is MBR partition for USB drives.

Are you sure your Windows is made in UEFI mode. Those are basic files that are found on all UEFI installations.
