Windows 10 installation

Go to solution Solved by SpookyCitrus,

Make sure secure boot is off in bios settings and that the windows boot loader that is installed on the drive is set as boot option #1. Also resetting the bios to defaults and then fresh installing Windows should work as the default bios settings should be setup for UEFI Windows 10 out of the box. And reverting to default should fix any settings you may have changed without needing too.

Specs:
CPU: i5 8600k 
MB: Asus Prime b360m-a
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB sata
GPU GTX 1060 3 GB
PSU: Corsair TX550m
BIOS: ASUS UEFI BIOS UTLITY

I've been trying to install Windows 10 using a USB Media Creation Tool on a new Samsung SSD.
But after the USB loads, installs, and restarts the PC.
It boots to either the "Reboot and Select Tab", UFEI SHELL, or BIOS.
I been at this for hours trying different USB installations such as: ISO + Refus on a USB and letting the Windows Creation Tool create the USB.
Help,

I tried what you said but i am still getting sent to the BIOS. I've also forgot to mention, the SSD isn't showing up in the boot priority, and i cant find the setting to disable or enable "Secure Boot" in the Asus bios.

Have you connected the power cable to your SSD? It's a common thing people forget

No, Windows installer will do that for you when you select where to install.

You can't see an option to select boot priority for a drive that is not bootable.

If Windows is not installed there yet, you're not gonna see it as a an option in that Bios menu.

 

There seems to be an issue with your BIOS using UEFI/GPT partitioned drives. So it sends you to that menu to pick between an UEFI/GPT or MBR choice.

What causes this might be specific to that motherboard and Bios version.

I have a similar issue I have MSI B450 Pro carbon and a MSI B550M Mortar with orginally 32GB corsa vengance LPX  (4 x 8gb sticks) and a R5 3600 it boots to bios fine but soon as I try an install os on either an MP510 or a Kingston A400 windows installer loads but crashes between 10 to 30%. I have taken off XMP and also have removed all ram stick bar 1 and still not working. I thought it might be the USB but I managed to install windows on a 10 year old lap top and my old FX 8350. I've tried the install on both motherboards with UEFI on and off I'm using a GTX1050ti as a tempory GPU because I don't need to power it and still no luck. 

 

I was wondering would an older version on windows installer work like 1909 as thats what i used orginally to install windows 10. Only other option is to install a blank copy of windows on another computer then try an use that installation.

 

I also have a WD green SSD, A sandisk Ultra Plus SDD, and 2  x toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB and a Segate Barcuda 2TB but I have stuff on them so would rather not use them if i can avoid it.

 

Also tried two differenrt PSU's a CX600M and a CIT550
