I tried to download windows 10 on my new pc but it won't work

[samoht1234]

I recently bought a new PC and looked up tutorials on how to download windows 10 on it. I got an 8gb flash drive and downloaded the current version of windows 10 on it. But when I boot it in my bios the message "an operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system. press any key to restart"

because of this I googled how to fix it and one source told me to unplug my hard drive power. I did that and nothing happend. Can anyone tell me what to do.

How did you put the win10.iso onto your USB stick?

What piece of software did you use to make the drive bootable? Or did you just copy the ISO to the drive?

You'll need to use the Microsoft-provided tool to create a bootable flash drive.

Sometimes a bad SATA cable can do this, happened to me. Boot priority can also be screwy, make sure to have boot manager first priority.

"Download" doesn't tell me anything. Was there a program you used that asked you to format your USB drive?

The Windows10 media creation tool?

 

Do you know HOW TO BOOT from USB?

Some boards need it triggered manually.

Yeap pretty sure you need to change boot order so it boots from USB sometimes.

if you download Media creation tool there isn't really another program used as far I know... I never used anything else, you may need to format the USB stick to fat32 though.

This surprisingly works too! 

 

 

 

This is all you need, you can even use a phone or anything with an internet connection that can write to a USB drive really.
