XPS 15 l521x Can't Boot From USB
Getting ready to reinstall Windows 10 but can't boot from my usb drive. I've read a few forum post of user with the same problem with different dell models but that didn't help. My bios is A18 if that helps.

There seems to be a number of people with that problem for that laptop.
1. Did you create the Windows 10 installation stick using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool?
2. If you press F12 constantly when booting your system, does the "Boot Options" menu appear. If it does, is it showing your USB stick?
3. If you use F2 to get into BIOS, does the USB stick appear in the Boot Options there?

Late reply. I solved the problem by booting into the bios from within Windows (advanced restart I believe) and if found the bootable usb no problem.
