    That`s because you didn`t create the usb installer to be UEFI bootable.

    I have already followed that tutorial to make the UEFI USB, but it's not booting up. Ive done it 4/5 times before, so I know im doing it right. The USB boots up if i Formst it as MBR partitioned for CSM/UEFI computers option from Rufus.

    The thing is that the options for boot mode (Legacy/UEFI) from boot Menu have disappeared. It's no longer there.

    Not sure then, it`ll show up as either or for me when I use the program I linked you earlier.

    Has to be a bios thing :)

    You have created a uefi installer, you are using a gpt disk, and you have chosen uefi in the bios, correct ?

    I dont have a UEFI option or any other option in my boot menu as i said before, even legacy or CSM isnt there; I have no idea why.

    Anyways, I formatted it as MBR, and everything works perfectly. So, considering what you said that using UEFI doesnt really matter much: Thanks
