Hi all,
I have the same PC (a small form factor Dell Optiplex 7040) as the OP and just want to say that this post helped me out a lot.
I'd just installed Debian 12.7 on the machine (obtained from a garage sale and it had the original v1.4.5 BIOS firmware) - switched it into UEFI mode before the install, everything seemed to go well - then 'no boot devices found'.
Went to the page that @Head_on_a_Stick put from the wiki and followed the prompts. I didn't need to get into the command prompt/terminal, instead from the USB loader - I went to:
Advanced options
Rescue Mode,
When it got to the drive partition selection - I went into sda2 and then used the 'Force EFI installation into GRUB'.
Then all seemed fine.
