What do you actually see then? the framework logo and then an error saying no boot device? Are you able to get into the Bios and see what devices are detected?

Yes i see all exterenal device in the bios (tested 2 usb sticks + one cd drive) test win10 and win11.

everytime when i leave the system booting it does not recognize any boot device… but in bios they are shown…

YAY! I was going to suggest making a new USB boot key but I figured it might not be the issue since you had multiple OS installers and a DVD install… but glad it worked anyways!

[Windows 11 Installation on the Framework Laptop DIY Edition - Framework Guides](https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Windows+11+Installation+on+the+Framework+Laptop+DIY+Edition/116)  
and surprise works like a charm… so the problem was in front of the computer 😉

i used the microsoft “USB DVD-Downloadtool für Windows 7” which was a fault. using the media creator from microsoft directly did the job… sorry guys for bothering

LOL PEBKAC errror… JK… the whole purpose of forums like this is to learn and grow. and yes, the Windows media creation tools for win10 and win11 from Microsoft are the preferred / least error method!

I have the same issue after installing Debian I get the “Default boot device missing or boot failed”, I can install and boot into Windows fine and the driver of my ssd (WD sn850) is up to date.

None of my attempt lead to Debian booting from the SSD
