Hello everyone,
I have done a mess with my partitions, bootloader etc...
I have recently installed Debian. However, in order to do that, I have removed practically all the other partitions (currently there is a 500mb FAT partition, 17GB for swap and the rest is the main partition).
I wanted to return to Windows so I burned the iso downloaded from the Dell webpage into an USB drive but it doesn't show in the boot list (pressing F12). I tried different combinations of settings like secure boot disable or SATA as AHCI. I have also restored the settings as default but nothing changed.
I tried to add a UEFI boot entry for the USB but I couldn't find /boot/efi/bootx64.efi which could be the problem. But I don't know how to restore everything.
I hope that you can come up with some ideas because I searched everywhere on the internet and I couldn't solve the problem...
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
