Inspiron 7520 error NO BOOT DEVICE FOUND

[rhastings56]

A new laptop and the screen goes from the DELL logo to CHECKING MEDIA [FAIL] then NO BOOT DEVICE FOUND. PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT MACHINE.
in BIOS boot options, LEGACY BOOT and UEFI BOOT.
UEFI BOOT needs network connection to boot as I understand. With LAN cable plugged in I get: Start PXE over IPv4 Press ESC to EXIT
PXE-E18: Server Time Out.
I tried using legacy boot but after CLIENT MAC ADDR info displayed the next entry is: PXE-M0F: EXITING PXE ROM.
No Boot Device Found. Press Any Key To Reboot Machine.
What do I need to check to correct this?

All the best Brett

Shut down machine and start it again with the usb device attached
