Can't put computer in Legacy
Hello,
I had a faulty hard drive from dell that was as noisy as ever so they sent me a new one as well as an operating system install USB but im following the guide but it says
- Start the system while tapping F2 key to enter the BIOS
so i do that but then it loads some weird screen but i swear the BIOS is F12 but anyway can someone help me install the OS
my current screen is this...
thanks

There is no put in Legacy.
Press F2 then F12 then F2 then F12 then F2 then F12
Disable Secure Boot and it will Enable CSM.
If this is not a windows 8.x or 10 machine there is no Secure boot.
You didn't say what model.

Plug USB Recovery media into USB 2.0 port BEFORE TURNING ON POWER. Then Turn on and press F2 then F12 then F2 then F12 then F2 then F12 until you get to the Selective boot menu.
Dell USB recovery keys are ONE TIME USE. You cannot clone them nor can you use over and over and over again.
If your 3050 has CLASS 3 BIOS there is NO CSM
