I posted earlier saying I installed Win10 Pro over the original Win10 Home, installed Office 2016 and activated both.  During windows updates it rebooted into BIOS only.  I did as suggested here and restored BIOS to factory, F4 to save and when that did not work F7 where I saw no drives detected.

I opened the case and reset the CMOS battery.  This worked but only temporarily.  I was able to logon to Windows and immediately there were updates to install.  This time during updates I got a blue screen saying your computer ran into a problem and will reboot.  On reboot an update bar was happening and then that disappeared and it went into BIOS.  Each reboot goes straight to BIOS.

I now know I can do a CMOS reset but it does not last.  Something else is wrong.

Sheesh!  I gave up, installed Ubuntu 18.04 erasing previous install of Windows 10 Pro.  This resolved booting so it must have been a Windows issue on not BeeLink
