Can't Install Windows 20H2 version

[SJ Hassan]

I created bootable pendrive (MBR),  but the combuter won't just boot from the usb. Although the usb shows up in bios.

My system:

R5 1600

Mobo: Gigabyte AB350M DS3H

Rello, have you created installation media from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

If yes, try booting from USB 2.0  port,

Why would you use MBR? Is your BIOS set to UEFI only or UEFI & CSM/legacy?

If possible you should always use UEFI and also create the USB drive as GPT instead of MBR for UEFI booting.

I'd have to agree with it. I assume that you are trying to install the regular CSM version and not the UEFI version. In general, since Windows 8.1, I'd never install a non-UEFI version. Maybe that'll work for you.

 

That is not actually correct. My thumbdrive is also formatted as FAT32 MBR and still installs UEFI-only just perfectly. The setup media just needs a correctly configured bootloader on the drive that makes itself get recognised as UEFI boot manager, which Windows does since 8.1 on also MBR-formatted drives.

Well that is correct, yes. In boot menu you can then choose to boot from the USB drive in UEFI or legacy mode, same with hard drives

Just tried using GPT but didn't work, fun fact : it boots fron another pen drive which has a outdated version of windows

That was not my point and you're still wrong. A setup medium doesn't need to be formatted GPT to install UEFI. And after using computers for 15 years, I know very much how to install Windows and where the difference in the setup lies. After all, DVDs have neither format (they use ISO 9660 Joliet) and can still install both CSM and UEFI installs.

But in terms of using UEFI you are correct and nothing else should be done on a system that is equal to or newer than Intel Ivy Bridge.

With "that is correct" I meant that MBR can install UEFI as well as legacy
