Sometimes you need to reinstall or install a new operating system on your computer. To do this, it is necessary to configure the BIOS of your computer to allow the system to be launched on the desired removable media (DVD or USB key) at start-up.
So what is the procedure to follow to boot on the DVD or USB drive to install Windows 10? This is applicable for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.

Configure removable media at start-up

1. Plug in your key or DVD and restart your computer.

2. Open the BIOS setup interface by pressing the "F2" or "DEL" key. If the keyboard key "F2" or "DELETE" displays nothing then try this:

- The Esc key
- The F1 or F10 key
- The keys ALT + Enter

- The keys CTRL + ALT + Insert

3. Move to the "Boot" tab at the top of the screen, using the left and right arrow keys.

5. Your computer must restart. Make sure your CD or USB stick is plugged into your computer.
