windows 10 Windows 10 - Issue while installing from USB

[Botman02]

Hi All,

I recently purchased new SSD and normal HDD. 

I'm facing issues while installing windows 10.

I got my usb drive loaded with windows 10 from rufus (GPT type).

In the bios setting, I set the boot mode as legacy+UEFI and chose usb stick to install windows. But it threw an error saying I need to boot using UEFI mode. So I changed the setting to UEFI in the boot setting and tried to boot from pendrive. But it's not working. The screen just freezes and nothing happens.

Also I don't find option to disable secure boot in the bios setting.

Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming motherboard.

 

Is there any option available to boot using UEFI mode or I should recreate usb again with MBR type ?

Use the media creation tool from Microsoft itself: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209

Via rufus is possible but requires some more setup.

Rufus is fine for creating bootable USBs, have used it for years... I also use Etcher for ones that rufus doesn't handle well. I have never had to use the windows usb creation software, and also because if something goes wrong you have to download it again, which can take hours depending on speed of your connection. I prefer to download once, and create as many as I need.
