I can't get the system to boot from USB. I've tried both Rufus and Unetbootin to create a bootable USB using the ISO from Microsoft, Windows Server 2016.
I press F11, and choose optoin 3 (USB drivekey). It attempts to boot, but fails.
I've reset the BIOS. Also I tried the USB on a laptop (it boots). I've tried MBR and GPT.
I have Windows 10 on my desktop, so the old HP USB drivekey utility doesn't work (not supported).
I can install Windows 2012 using intelligent provisioning, but 2016 isn't supported for this method on Gen8.
Side-note: I have a Veeam recovery USB, and it will boot fine on this server. What magic they do I have no idea.
