Select a filesystem from the option menu. 

Path For Boot Option 

 

Define the path to EFI boot application (*.efi). 

Usually this path points to a Boot Manager (EFI application) which selects and loads 
the operating system, removing the need for a dedicated boot loader 

Create 

To make a removable device bootable, the EFI application simply needs to be 
renamed to BOOTx64.EFI (case insensitive) and placed in the \EFI\BOOT directory. 
When a removable device, such as a USB key, is detected in EFI Boot Mode, a boot 
option is automatically added to point to the following location:
