I'm trying to boot to my usb with Windows 10 installed and it just seems to get to the windows logo then restart. I read up and it says I need to enable CSM. My bios doesn't seem to have this option. What do i do?

Already tried that. My bios doesn't look anything like that. That one is more updated than mine.

I'm going to guess your computer came preloaded with Windows 7 (judging from what CNET has posted about it), so I doubt it'll have a secure boot feature or CSM in the motherboard's bios to worry about since those didn't become common in store bought brands until Windows 8. I'd double and triple check just to be safe, though.

 

How did you create your USB drive? It's possible something went wrong in that process and it didn't create a good drive, so it might be worth erasing the USB and trying again if you haven't done so already. I'd also recommend using Microsoft's Media Creation tool, just in case you used some other method.

 

Also, have you tried booting from different USB ports?
