Would wiping the computer's hard drives help in any way?....you
know...like working with a "clean slate"?....and I believe its F12 for
getting in the the Bios?..but F2 or F8 to get to the BIOS settings...I
only ask because I recall a time when I had a Dell Vostro and a Dell
XPS...they both gave me problems...then I' booted into a Live version of
Fedora Linux and wiped their drives clean...left them formatted as
NTFS...and then attempted installs.....after getting into the BIO menu I
disable UEFI and installed Pop-OS on the XPS....and the Vostro which was
for someone else got Linux mint...with no problem. (Never really
understood the need for trying to hide or lock down the UEFI
feature...some people who are computer savvy WANT the option of leaving
it on or taking it off!)

Does anyone know of a process to make a UEFI USB Boot that
actual works using Fedora??
I've always used:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multiboot_USB_drive
I created a big utility USB stick with it than can boot the
giant collection of ISO images I put on the stick. It can boot
either "normal" MSDOS or UEFI, but I've found a lot of computers
that don't like one or the other for some reason. I just boot
whichever version I can get to work. Here's my notes for setting up
the initial stick:
If starting from scratch, use gparted to erase all partitions
from the usb stick.
Create a 4 GB fat32 partition labeled BOOTUSB
Create an ext4 partition labeled DATAUSB in remainder of space.
Using /dev/sdc as the example name of the usb stick device, run these
commands to install grub on the BOOTUSB partition (taken from
the web page at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multiboot_USB_drive).
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/boot
grub2-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdc
grub2-install --target x86_64-efi --removable --boot-directory=/mnt/boot --efi-directory=/mnt
Now copy in the grub.cfg file (gets very specific to my case after
this).
