Does your computer has UEFI?

 

What mobo do you have?

[scobie56]

if you got windows from a shop and then made the dvd into a usb there should be a sticker or something in the box with a product key

Im willing to bet the install media isn't built correctly.  Please follow guide in my signature.

i got the product key off g2a then used it to download the iso then ran the usb installer and put it all on the usb. the pc:

gigabyte 78LMT-USB3

fx6300

wd blue 1tb

8gb hyperx ram 

 

basically no matter where i boot from i just get that message

You can't simply copy the files from the dvd or iso to the usb stick file by file, it doesn't work that way. What you need to do is get a tool that can make an exact copy, byte by byte, of the dvd or iso, like BurnISO or UNetbootin.

At least, I'm guessing that's what the problem is.
