Okay and if I have another PC what are the steps to download it to the USB?

Search Windows 10 download. Download Microsoft app to run the install. Pick what drive you want to install Windows on(pick the flash drive, it has to be more than 4gb). Install Windows on it. Boot from the flash drive. Done.

Also here's the link to the download.

You have to get it on a bootable usb stick (you can get the software on microsoft.com and get any usb stick). Then open your pc while mashing f11 (or delete or something else, depends on your mobo, just look for the key that opens your bios. search for it on google). Then on your bios menu you select your usb drive as boot drive, quit the bios, and follow the instructions!

Did it work? I hope it did, as when I installed Windows it took like 2 hrs of troubleshooting lol. Happy building!
