    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Nova 15" - BIOS and Booting from USB key

    Ok, I finally solved it! I noticed that I was indeed able to boot from a bootable USB drive when trying to install Linux Manjaro. The issue was still persisting instead when trying to boot the USB drive with Clonezilla. In the end the problem was in the way I had written the Clonezilla ISO on...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Nova 15" - BIOS and Booting from USB key

    Thanks for the feedback! Yes I know. I eventually managed to access the BIOS (with F2) but my main issue now is how to boot the laptop from a USB key (pendrive) so I can install Linux on it When I say "USB Key" I refer to an external USB bootable pen drive, not a USB keyboard :) That's what I...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Nova 15" - BIOS and Booting from USB key

    Ok, I found a way to enter the BIOS. It was F2 (probably the only key I hadn't tried yet). Now, I'm even more puzzled then before! This seems to be the weirdest BIOS program I've ever seen in my life; it seems there are very few options to see/tweaks. For example, I don't see anywhere any...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Nova 15" - BIOS and Booting from USB key

    Hi all, I just received my Ryzen9 Nova 15" and I'm thrilled. Windows works ok and I wanted to just boot into BIOS to check how things are configured and, more importantly, to boot from a USB key and install Linux on the second M2 drive. Problem is: I've no idea how to enter the BIOS! At boot...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Nova 15' review

    Thanks for letting us know! I'm in the process of ordering my Nova (with a configuration similar to yours). Can I ask you a question? What do you mean with "Because you need afterward to reinstall everything," ? Isn't the Windows 10 install PC Specialist does good enough? I don't care...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9 3900x configuration

    Thanks for the tips @Oussebon I just amended my order: I decided to install the OS on the M.2 (downsized to 500GB; it's enough for hosting the main OS). I'll use one of the SSD drives for X-Plane (I chose the best ones available in the list, the Seagate Barracuda). The other SSD is needed for...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9 3900x configuration

    @The_Scotster , Good catch on the PSU, I've read a bit about it and yeah, I totally agree with you! Just amended the order (it was still in pre-production). Thanks for the tips!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9 3900x configuration

    Hey @The_Scotster , thanks for the hints! There seems to be no option for selecting a second M.2 drive (it's still unclear to me if the motherboard actually has 2 M.2 slots or not. I've read conflicting specs on it). I went through the configuration many times but I was able to specify only one...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9 3900x configuration

    I just ordered a Ryzen 9 3900x configuration and I'm SO excited and very looking forward to put my hands on it once it gets delivered! It was just about time, since my current rig is now 7 years old (Intel I7 3770k with a GTX980)! My main focus, other than software development, will be Flight...
