Unable to Boot From USB | Alienware Aurora R6 W/ OPTANE
Hello, I tried to look for a solution but I couldn't find any. I created a Dell Alienware Bootable USB as well as a plain Windows 10 USB. I inserted the USB drive on both back and front sides of the tower, turned he computer on, pressed f12, and selected the USB. After a while, I get the following error: A7 Downgrade- Me SpiLock Failed. Any ideas? Thanks for all your help!

Sadly, I already got it to boot but on some occasions where I try to boot from a USB or try to change how it boots in general (BIOS settings) it puts me in a loop that says "Automatic Repair" then the loading symbol goes halfway and resets like I just turned the computer on.
