Here's a detailed response to your question about adjusting the boot sequence to make the BIOS boot from USB, a bootable CD, or Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron 3030.
Adjusting Boot Sequence in BIOS
To adjust the boot sequence in your BIOS, follow these steps:
-
Restart your computer and press the appropriate key (usually F2, F10, F12, or Del) during startup to enter the BIOS setup. The key may be displayed briefly during startup.
-
Navigate to the "Boot" or "Boot Order" menu using the arrow keys.
-
Change the boot order to prioritize the device you want to boot from (USB drive, CD/DVD drive, or Windows 10). Move the desired device to the first position in the list.
-
Save your changes and exit the BIOS setup. Your computer should now boot from the selected device.
Booting from USB

Booting from CD/DVD
Insert the bootable CD/DVD into your drive and follow the steps above to adjust the boot sequence in the BIOS.
Booting Windows 10
