Posted March 30, 2021 so pressing the key to enter bios isn't working? i would try a different keyboard, and/or clear the cmos to try to get to bios so you can boot from usb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 30, 2021 Did you run the installer or just put the file on the USB? Did you press the key that it says to press to go into the bios? I could use some help with this!

Posted March 30, 2021 Well I assume that either you didn't use the tool to make the USB into install media (the file you download from MS is a tool to make bootable USB install media) or you don't have the USB set as boot device. So if the first, go on a working PC (that boots into Windows etc), run that installer and let it install the install media on the USB drive. If the second, after turning the PC without Windows on at the first screen you see it should say something like "press F2 to enter UEFI/BIOS" it may also be delete or some other key. Press the key when you are on that screen and head to a section called "BOOT" in there you should see something called boot priority or something similar set your USB to boot device 1 there. Note that on some boards you will enter on the EZ (easy) page by default when you first enter BIOS. Often you can set boot priority on that page so just look around there and if not look around for what key to press to get into advanced mode.

Posted March 30, 2021 I would take what @aDoomGuysaid but if you really want to get into the bios instead of fixing the windows USB try clearing cmos which usually works or what most people and what I do is unplug all of your drives.
