You need to download windows onto a USB stick, when you boot 5e computer it should say somewhere on the screen what button opens the bios, go to the bios go to the exit/boot window select default boot drive, select the USB stick, click save and exit. It will boot from the USB and go to the download windows screen, choose what ssd to boot from, preferably ssd, then let it download.

Did you make a bootable USB stick for Windows? Did you install Windows already? Did you change the boot order already?

This video gives a lot of good info in a clear manner to know what to do (it just depends on what you have or have not done already)

Try mashing all the f keys and see which one brings up the bios screen. Different motherboard have different keys to enter their bios. Mine for example uses either del or f8 (i think)

I haven’t done anything since I’m too stupid to do anything but what do you mean by “bootable usb” I got a usb with windows media installer on it but I have no idea if it’s a bootable drive and should I wipe everything else on it or just leave it there and I don’t care for anything on the drive

Did you just drop the windows media installer file onto the USB stick or did you start the program windows media installer and select the usb drive as the target drive?

Dropped it on I think that’s wrong but it didn’t give me the option to download it to the usb only to the laptop then I dropped it on

You run the installer on a windows PC and select the USB to use. Then you put the USB in the computer and chose it in the bios.

When you turn on the PC there should be a splash screen with a logo (not the boot device not found screen), and it will have a key to press.

If you cant figure it out you could take a video of the screen with you turn it on and post it here.

Okay, when you hammer F11 (as shown there, to enter the boot menu - where you'd be able to select the USB drive you set up for Windows 10 installation)

 

Does it actually let you pick a boot device?

 

If not, please plug your keyboard into a different USB socket.

Okay I know that you likely alrready figured this out but heres a DETAILED guide.

 

Get a PC with windows 10 MAKE SURE you are logged into an administrator account.  Download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from microsoft.  Open your downlaods folder and run it.  Then select your language and hit next next next until you get to the ISO or USB drive stage.  Select USB drive and pickj your flash drive.  Hit next accept the warning that it will earse your drive.  After it is done SAFELY eject your drive from the ^ in the task bar.  (Its the USB logo and then left click to eject the drive) when it says it is safe to eject pull out the drive.  Plug it into your computer and hit the reset button.  After that start up the PC and immediately start pressing F11.  PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR USB DRIVE AND KEYBOARD ARE PLUGGED INTO THE BACK PORTS!!!!! Then Select UEFI (Brand name for the flash drive) this will load the windows 01 installer from there just install windows 10.
