    Thanks for the info. Also, I liked how your HD looked like an old school cassette.

    So for anyone with an ASUS Tuf gaming PC hit ESC and set the protected boot option off on advanced and works like a charm. Thank you for getting me to finally get it. Got it hooked up and can’t wait to check it out after my kids birthday party.

    by choosing the hard drive in the boot override option your PC will boot into Batocera for once, afther restarting it wilk get back to your own operation.

    Theoretically...So if I take a hdd from an old laptop (still with OS and files from when last run) I can connect it via USB. Direct boot sequence to this hdd and it would be like starting old laptop?

    Did you ever get this working? Converting SSDs into internal/external doesn't matter. They are the same thing, one just uses a SATA/USB adapter. Anyway, I'm encountering the same issue. I've made a Windows/Linux dual boot before which had no issue. The difference is, back then I used a disk partition tool to allocate space on a single SSD in the laptop. I'm running HP Pavilion gaming now, using an external disk to (try to) boot Batocera from. I also used the Balena etcher tool which was recommended, and everything flashed smoothly. I can see from Windows that the drive has Batocera installed. The problem is, no matter what I do in BIOS, it refuses to appear on the boot list. I'm about to try one more thing, which is to disable secure boot.

    So when you change the boot order it will now boot to the USB Hard Drive if one is plugged into USB. If nothing is present in the USB port I assume it will boot to your internal hard drive? Thanks in advance!

    Just disconnect the external hard drive and it'll default right back to your os drive or manually go back in and just change the boot order back to the internal option
