Vostro 3470, SSD or SATA, no bootable device found
I've been trying all day to restore a hard drive image to M.2 drive in a new vostro 3470
I don't have an m.2 adapter, so was trying to boot from a sata or ssd drive internally, neither of which worked
both have win10 installed that were used on other computers
I have adjusted the settings in the bios to various configurations
Secure boot on, UEFI enabled etc but can't boot
Set legacy boot options to on same problem
The only way i can get it to boot is to insert Windows 10 install usb disk
let it go through "press any key to boot from usb" without pressing a key and then the drive boots
Have restored the image to the internal M.2 disk, it boots and runs
but again it needs the win 10 usb disk inserted
Is there any way to get the system to boot from the m.2 disk with that image restored
Is it a BIOS setting or the windows 10 install ?

Every distro under the sun is not supported.
Unless your dell came with Linux it is not supported.
Newer model dells require 64 bit distro that can do ahci gpt UEFI.
Like Bionic Puppy.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-bionic/bionicpup64/
Bionicpup64 is built from a "Puppy builder" system named Woof-CE (woof-CE at GitHub), which can build a Puppy Linux distribution from the binary packages of any other distro. There are many "puppies" built with Woof, including TahrPup, Precise*, Wary*, Racy*, and Slacko.
