usb not a boot option

trying to reinstall windows on ubuntu but can't get windows installation usb drive to show as a boot option in bios.  I've tried multiple USB sticks and USB drives and the bios was just updated today.  I tried installing formating / usb boot drive making software on ubuntu but as with most applications I try to install on ubuntu after installation the program is not installed.

Im running ubuntu and followed these directions.

Here are teh current settings, I've tried legacy boot and no difference.

boot list option: UEFI

secure boot: disabled

legacy option roms: enabled

attempt legacy boot: disabled

enable USB boot support: enabled

any suggestions?

Hello thanks for choosing Dell.

I can’t answer this I’m afraid- This needs a response from a community user who actually has experienced in this since the OS is not certified.

We also do not have a manual on booting a Windows server OS by USB either,

Sorry I can’t be of help this time

Respectfully,
