I am trying run StartOS on Lenvovo Thinkcentre M92p, 8GB RAM 1TB SSD. I successfully got to the step “Remove USB flash drive and reboot machine”. After removing the USB flash drive and rebooting it does not appear to boot from the hard drive that StartOS was installed on and instead attempts to boot from the network. I checked the BIOS settings and verified that the boot priority is correct.
It looks like the machine does not recognize the StartOS so tries to boot from the network.
This is happening with both the free and non-free versions.
As of yet, no one has reported getting StartOS to work on that specific model. So please let us know, if you do.
You may just need to experiment with the boot options in the bios/UEFI menu. You might try installing again after changing the secure boot options, or switch between efi, and legacy boot.
I’ve run StartOS to on a couple of Lenovo ThinkCentre variants (M93p and M710Q), and I frequently direct folks who are on a tight budget to this family of refurbished systems. I would really like to re-create and hopefully resolve the problem that you are experiencing with the ThinkCentre M92P. It seems that Lenovo made a couple different varients called M92P, though, so to make sure I get the same one you have, do you happen to have a link to a photo or listing that is identical to the one you own?
There are two variants of this model. There is the “small” form factor:
And the “tiny” form factor:
Sorry if this is obvious from one of the numbers in your photo there, but can you confirm which of these two you have? It probably doesn’t make a difference, but I want to be sure.
It’s definitely the small as it has the CD/DVD drive.

Great, I have one on order. Will let you know what I find out in a few days once it arrives.
