Re: [Blind-sysadmins] win10 in UEFI with secure boot

I regard this and Ben's contribution as patronising. I don't think anyone needs to tell the kind of people who are subscribed to this list to try to find out things for themselves. It is because most contributors on here must I'm sure do this that I am on this list.

However, I have to concur with Ben about the ability to dig up stuff yourself. This is probably my most frequently used IT skill and really should be tried before writing to a list like this. I am happy to help if I know something but when I encounter questions that have an answer that would have taken less time to look up than to write the email with the question, it can get a little frustrating if there are a lot of them.

Hi

It doesn't bother me but that's only because this is a low traffic list. Booting windows 10 isn't really sysadmin related. Accessible ways of reading credit cards definitely isn't sysadmin related. Motherboard choices aren't sysadmin related - I could go on.

I've also noticed that a large number of questions on this list aren't actually blindness specific and could be resolved with a quick Google. Tough love time, but if you can't be bothered to Google something you're going to find it incredibly hard to get any kind of job in the IT industry. There are frequently days at work where my most valuable skill isn't IT related per se - it's my ability to find things out for myself. This is paticularly important for blind people as the constraints that we operate under mean that we'll typically need to do more research than others when it comes to learning new systems and the like.

Cheers, Ben.

Hi,

Seconded about the media creator tool. Also I think the issue is the USB drive shouldn't be GPT itself.

On a side note I am wondering if people are generally ok with all the discussion about booting, WinPE and recovery stuff that seems to get posted to this list? If they are it's not a problem, and we haven't had any complaints, but these topics I think could be discussed on more of the general lists possibly?

Discuss. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: Blind-sysadmins [blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] on behalf of Ben Mustill-Rose [ben@benmr.com] Sent: 23 April 2018 10:26 To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] win10 in UEFI with secure boot

Try it with the media creation tool from Microsoft. If it won't boot using that you have other issues as the drive will be UEFI & secure boot compatible if you use that tool.

Hi,

I used rofus and wrote win10 1709 iso to a thumb drive. I used gpt partition for UEFI and Fat32 format.

Thanks. Dave.

How did you write win 10 to the drive?

Hello,

I am trying to get a Lenovo laptop to boot off of a thumb drive, which is not working. The system is in UEFI mode and has secure boot on. If anyone has a Lenovo is there a way I can turn one or both of these temporarily off so I can boot from thumb drive and reinstall win10?

Thanks. Dave.
