Cannot Install Windows on Prebuilt

Background info:

 - Motherboard: Gigabyte AX370

 - Prebuilt PC with Ryzen 1700 CPU & RX 580 GPU

 - I am trying to install Windows 10 onto an SSD that did not come with the PC.

 

Whenever I try to install windows 10 with a USB (created with windows media creation tool or rufus/other 3rd party software and an iso file), the PC refuses to boot on that USB. I have successfully booted using a Linux distro on the same USB. I have tried multiple methods of creating the USB, multiple iso files of windows, and MBR/GPT/FAT32/NTFS formats. The PC did come with windows installed by the manufacturer and has windows keyed to the motherboard. Any Idea on why this won't work?
