If your PC is one of those not tested by Dell for Windows 10, who knows?
reboot
F12
Dell Diagnostics

I don't understand, "one of those not tested by Dell for Windows 10". The PC has been running fine up until yesterday.
F12 Diagnostics brings up the ePSA screen. I ran the full, thorough test overnight and it showed "Success!" with green checkmarks next to every device. After reboot, I get the same screen, "No Boot Device Available".

Only reporting what I have read on these forums. Some units have been bricked by Windows 10.

Gee, a second hard drive would have been nice information to know.

HDD is dead. The only reason it passed the diagnostic test was that it found the second HDD I had installed.

It sounds like your Inspiron was delivered with Windows 10; if so, compatibility would never be an issue.
Good you found the problem. I imagine Dell will send you a replacement HDD and all will be well :emotion-2:
