No bootable device found.. no boot sequence options

Question

hello everyone, i have a dell latitude 5400 laptop. my sister gave it to me so i can use it for my online schooling that started because of the virus.. she had all her files on it so instead of deleting everything manually i just reset the whole laptop. i went to setup in the startup... i chose to 'WIPE OUT' and the computer rebooted.... i think i deleted everything.. like even logging in doesn’t come up!! all that comes up is 'no bootable device found.....press f1 for retry, f2 to reboot into setup, and f5 for onboard diagnostics'.... can someone please help me?? I don’t know what to do... i tried googling but the answers say stuff like 'change boot sequence to LEGACY' but when i go to boot sequence there’s no such options as legacy or UFEI.. i asked my sister for any hard drive or discs or anything to use to help set it up but she doesn’t know either! i don’t know anything about computers and there are no repair stores open because of the corona virus  can someone please help me??? or did i break the computer for good? i hope not.. but i’m a quick learner and if i can somehow fix this on my own i’m ready to follow the steps.. please just help me!!!

Was it a Dell Data Wipe you done? Sounds like you need to Download a Windows 10 ISO, make a Bootable USB, then Clean Install and then use Dell Command Update to install all the system drivers. See here for more details:

Yes, you will need to use another computer to download the ISO and make the Bootable USB as the one you are wanting to fix has no OS.

Latitude
