Hi everybody
Just bought a Thinkpad T460 and was very keen to install siduction on it.
I removed the original hdd with Windows and replaced it with a Samsung ssd; also upgraded the memory to 16G.
The machine boots fine from the usb drive with siduction on it.
The installation was always successful (I tried many times either with efi or legacy only). In the "BIOS" settings, I tried to get rid of anything related to Windows (secure boot ... etc).
The machine does not boot from the local ssd; I always get a silly screen asking to choose the boot device and choosing the Samsung ssd only brings back the same window over and over. I search the forum and found some advice but always the same result. I am at lost. Any idea?
Thank you.
