H410M-HDV/M.2 no boot priority w/ i3-10100 cpu

   So, I did my research to make an economic computer for one of my sons. I ensured that the MOBO was CPU graphic capable and that the CPU has graphics (Intel i3-10100). Both of these are compatible. I also have a WD NVMe drive to install Windows. I don't have all the exact specs as I'm at work right now.

I put the computer together last night and it turned on into the BIOs. My issue is that without a PCIe Graphics card, there is NO boot parameters available.  I can't boot to the NVMe (it shows up and is recognized). I can't boot to a USB Windows bootable disk that is plugged in. (also recognized, the USB is bootable as I used it on another son's computer recently and it works).

I've gone through everything.  The CSM option is ONLY available when a PCIe video card is plugged in as it is the ONLY option that allows the boot priority to be come available. Why is this?  My CPU has graphics (Intel i3-10100). It's verified as the monitor turns on when I assembled the computer and goes into the BIOS.

I had to install a 20+ year old video card to figure this out, but I don't want to run off the 20+ year old video card, I want to run off the CPU graphics.

In the BIOS I changed the graphics to "onboard" and I have also changed the multi-monitor (I believe that was the setting) to have the GPU always on.  This still didn't make a difference and wouldn't allow the computer to boot, let alone see the screen on the monitor.

What are the settings to get the CPU graphics to work AND also have a boot priority?????  Onboard graphics doesn't give me a boot priority so there is NOTHING to boot.
