I have a 2011 Dell XPS that I have been trying to load Linux Mint onto (it was running Windows 10). I use a USB thumb drive and flash a copy of Mint .ISO from this Linux site and can operate Mint on the PC from the USB. However after loading the software onto the PC, rebooting and removing the USB, my PC now just get "Operation System not found" on boot up. How to I fix this?

G'day BSW, Welcome to Linux.org
In bios, have you disabled Secure Boot ....and Fast Boot ?

Thanks for feed back.
in my BIOS there are no options for Secure Boot or Fast Boot.
On the .ISO file, this was directly down loaded from the Linux.org download site onto a new USB thumb drive and using BalenaEther to create the flash drive.

BalenaEtcher has been problematic for a while.
I recommend Ventoy.
Ventoy
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.

There is a new version of Ventoy available.
