First PC Build Help

[ShaeM]

Hello, 

I got my pc all built and put together, my first one ever, with no problem. I have ran into a problem though when I try to install windows via USB. I have the it on the USB and my MB recognizes it and I go to do the install, get through the whole install with no problems. Then when it restarts my PC it takes me right back to the install windows page. Its just a loop of install and I can't get past it to get to the windows set up. Please help I've tried tons of stuff people recommend online for it but nothing seems to be working.

Did you try getting into your bios (by spamming either the f2 or delete key on your keyboard) and changing the boot priority to your hdd or ssd you have installed windows on?

I did, I do the install from the USB drive onto the HDD then on restart I change the first boot option to the HDD, but it says I do not have any OS on that drive..... I thought the build was the hard part haha

What I would do is go into the install again, format the drive in the installer and do the OS installation again on that same drive. If it again does not boot you into os from that drive, I would try the other one to rule out that the first drive may be broken. I also found this link that may have a solution: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/operating-system-not-found-fix/

There is a point in the installation process when you have to remove the installation thumbdrive from the USB port.  Not removing the thumbdrive should cause the system to boot from the installation image thumbdrive which would attempt to install windows everytime.
