Help with Optiplex 7020
I was recently fresh installing Windows 10 on my Optiplex 7020, cuz Windows 11 24H2 was coming and my Optiplex 7020 did not support Windows 11 24H2.
When I fresh installed windows 11, something went wrong.
When I booted into the PC, the PC said No bootable devices found.
I just fresh installed windows 10. can some body help?
No Events found!

First question is did you fresh install Windows 11 (as you posted) or Windows 10 or both? This page at helpdeskgeek may help. Check the BIOS setting for your boot order as Windows Boot Manager should be first. Did you make any changes such as RAID to AHCI or vice versa? Also run diagnostics, F12 immediately at boot, to make sure you do not have a drive problem.

When loading Win10 or 11, BIOS should be set to UEFI (not sure if 7020 still had Legacy option) AHCI, and Secure Boot on. And as JOcean pointed out, Boot Sequence should = Windows Boot Manager.
If you're not on a network, uncheck or delete IPV4 and IPV6 in Boot Sequence.
Please be sure to let us know if we're working with Win10 or 11. Wording in initial post is a little mixed up.
I saw an article a short while back that Microsoft is cracking down on PC's it claims are unsupported for Win11.

Because Win 11 24H2 was coming so you decided to install Win 10 on your OptiPlex 7020.
And because the 7020 does not support Win 11 24H2, you installed a fresh copy of Win 11 and something went wrong. Therefore, you installed fresh Win 10 but system wouldn't boot.
That is totally very confusing.
Although it is not officially supported, many users have been successful installed Win 11 on their OptiPlex 7020. It's the matter of know how. Same goes for Win 10, you can install any version you want. It's not about which version that causing the issue of no boot devices found error, it was the users mistake during the installation process. Because, all of them were being installed fine back when they were released.
