Sometimes I have had mouse problems using the GUI version of IFL.
I pretty much stick with the cui.

Hi,

On my "new" (refurbed) Dell M7510 laptop, I had to change several settings to disable UEFI, etc. I have screenshots of my BIOS, etc. here:

I think I had to make these changes in the Dell BIOS:

- Disable Secure boot
- Enable legacy boot rom
- Enable ATTEMPT legacy boot
- Set drives to AHCI

The earlier thread I had when I was setting it up is this one:
