I just finished building my first desktop and i am trying to install windows off of a USB flash drive, but i am running into two types of errors.
The first error is that after clicking "install now" and selecting the language and windows type (Home/Pro/etc), a popup says "Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms" and sends me back to the "Install now" screen. I have tried reinstalling the flash drive with the windows media creation tool three times, and once with rufus (which didnt even get to that point). A short term solution i found for this online was to unplug the USB flash drive right before clicking "install now," which brings me to the next error.
When clicking "install now" after removing the flash drive, it brings me to the error "A media driver your computer needs is missing" and then brought me to a window to select a driver to install from any flash drives currently plugged in. From what i can tell it most likely is talking about needing a USB 3.0 driver. However, ive tried every single driver i could download from my motherboard's website and none of them were accepted. My only option is to use a USB 3.2 port, since they are the only ones available on my motherboard and case (theres one USB 2.0 header, but i have no way to access it).
The only drive currently connected to my motherboard is the M.2 SSD that I will be installing windows onto (which is also being detected by BIOS) and I made sure to update my BIOS to the latest version before trying to install windows. Also, im trying to install the 64 bit version of windows if that helps.
 
Specs:
Mobo - ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4S
CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
SSD - Seagate FireCuda 500GB M.2 NVME
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws 2x16 DDR4
 
Sorry if this is a little hard to understand. It's pretty late and i dont know what to do anymore.
