No Bootable Device after installing Ubuntu 20.4?

I installed Ubuntu, before that it was Windows 10.
After installation, rebooted, a message appeared that I needed to disconnect the USB flash drive, turned it off, then I get the message No Bootable Device.
Further following the answer from this question: Why won't ubuntu start after installation? , I do according to the first instruction from this site https://help.ubuntu.ru/wiki/%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%... Executed

: sudo fdisk -l
Got:
Start device End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 976895 974848 476M EFI
/dev/sda2 976896 40038399 39061504 18.6G Linux file system
/dev/sda3 40038400 250068991 210030592 100.2G Linux file system

Ran: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Then: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
Got:
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding is not possible.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. Given the options, GRUB can only be installed using blocklists. However, the block list is an UNRELIABLE mechanism and should not be used.
grub-install: error: will not continue with blocklists.

BIOS is set to boot from SSD.
I'm not strong in Linux, tell me how to fix the problem.

First you need to find out if the computer is running in BIOS or UEFI mode.
Under your link it is written "which addresses BIOS"; I have a feeling that this instruction may not work with UEFI.
Judging by the presence of the section
Also, I'm not sure what sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mntis correct. Because you have EFI in sda1, and Linux root/boot system in sda2 or sda3.
Google "grub-install blocklists" - you probably need to specify some options for it to use it.
