XPS 8700, Windows 10 -- "No boot device available"
XPS 8700
My XPS8700 (BIOS A13, Win10) is having a chronic issue of "No boot device available" upon a cold start or a reboot.
When the issue first began to surface a couple of years ago, I was able to boot successfully by going through the sequence of F2 & F10, but lately this would only works after repeated tries and seemingly like a stroke of luck. Once booted up, the PC would run fine continuously unless/until I have to reboot for some unrelated reasons -- thus it seems like the OS disk is functioning hardware-wise.
Any pointers/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

First suggestion, replace the CR2032 coin cell battery located on the motherboard. An old/defective battery can cause BIOS boot problems.
