Hey, ive recently bought an SSD and went ahead and threw win10 on my usb drive and tried to install it, but my computer just doesnt want to recognize my boot drive, ive set the boot options to my usb drive (attached in the pictures below). My motherboard recognizes the usb drive but doesnt want to boot from it, tried it with both windows and linux but i dont even get into any screen thats related to installing any of them, please Help!

My USB drive sometimes appears TWICE in the boot list, one works, one doesn't. Could you try looking if it perhaps appears a second time?

 

What program did you use to make your USB stick Windows 10 bootable?

Its the only icon that mentions my intenso slim drive, ive used the windows tool from the Microsoft website, are there any problems with outdated versions or such?

Hmm, then it should be that icon indeed... I also used the Windows tool last week, worked fine for me. Perhaps there's some setting in the bios (boot menu?) that makes it only boot from UEFI devices or whatever weird things and names they've come up with? :P Check if you can find something there - otherwise, I can't think of anything else, I'm afraid. - Actually, I just thought of something else :P perhaps you could try to boot onto the drive on another computer, see if that works, so you can see if it's your motherboard or the drive itself.
