    Hi all,

    I have an Asus UX32A which originally had Windows 7 on it. A long time ago I upgraded it to Windows 8. I am now looking to upgrade it to Windows 10 Tech Preview (it's not my primary machine, don't worry ;)).

    However, I can't seem to boot from the USB when it is in my machine. I have done a lot of reading on this and it turns out that the solution is to disable "Secure Boot Control" and enable "Launch CSM" from BIOS. This thread summarizes the solution well.

    The issue is, my BIOS (which I recently updated to 216) isn't showing either of those options in their respective tabs?! I've added screenshots of my BIOS tabs to this post.

    For the life of me I can't remember how I upgraded from Win7 to Win8; I'm sure it must have been from USB but I just can't get that to work now. I am going to try rolling back to the original BIOS to see if that helps.

    Any other suggestions are much appreciated!

    It's very likely a compatibility issue with the BIOS and the new OS.
    I don't think ASUS will be able to provide a fix for that since the product was intended for Win7/Win8 and had been phased out.
