No Boot Device Found
Installed brand new hard drive into Latitude e7240 laptop. Says no boot device found. Went into the bios to change the boot order, but it didn’t do anything. What else can I do?

Welcome to the Dell Community @ncaric
Thank you for your logical deduction that an OS may not have been installed???
As you realized that could be a possibility I hope the OP does the same.
Best regards,

I’m not sure?
The computer was given to me by a company that was upgrading to new computers. They removed the hard drives and then gave the computers away. All that I was supposed to do was install a new hard drive.
