[Spudwell06]

My old PC died, killed the mobo

All i have now is an old mac, and my new blank build

 

How do i install windows,

i know you need the file from microsoft, but i cannot open the startup for the USB because it is .exe

Download the image, not the downloader. Should give that by default if you're not on Windows.

You download that, write it to the USB so it's bootable (IIRC MacOS could do that without any extra software) and then boot your new computer with it.
