Boot help

[tahmid133712]

I just bought a new Kingston SSD for my Optiplex 990 mini tower. I have installed Windows 10 64 with an ISO that I burned onto the USB using Rufus. Everything is well but one. When I boot without the boot usb plugged in I get a flashing white thing and I can't boot and the pc only boots if the usb is plugged in.

Last I knew, Rufus was known to potentially have issue with creating a bootable .iso for Windows 10. Give it a shot with the standard Windows media Creation tool

What type of error(s) are you getting with WMC? Is it possible that your flash drive is having issue?

Just a couple months back, a friend of mine was having issue installing Windows 10, he had both a flash drive with W10 on it direct from Microsoft, and on he burned with Rufus, neither wanted to work. Ultimately, it ended up that his MS drive was corrupt, and the drive he burned with Rufus repeatedly flat-out refused to install properly. Once he burned with WMC, everything ran perfectly fine.

I'm using a 16gb sandisk usb that I've never installed Windows with before. I actually don't know if it's the usb or if it's my bios but I'm trying right now to "upgrade this pc right now" to try and reinstall windows. Any other suggestions in the meantime? I have some other USbs I can try

Did you run the tool as administrator?

 

I've personally run into issues when not doing this.

I didn't run Rufus as administrator. I didn't think it would make much difference

WMC keeps on going normally until it's about to finish up then i didn't note the error code but it says an error occurred (lol) and the installation was a failure.

Run the "MediaCreationTool" [Here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10] as administrator and create the bootable USB via it.

But I get error message and the media creation doesn't get to finish

You need to right click it and run it as administrator.
