Is to flash from USB the same as to boot up off of a USB?

Just got to the bios after the build. Do those 2 things mean the same? I am trying to install windows 10 of a USB and that is the only option that seems to me the right one?

To flash is to update the bios with an external file (aka a usb) and to boot from a usb is to run the windows installation file from the usb.  Choose the option in the boot menu that says usb or whatever the name of your usb is.

Try using the PSU Tier List!

Thanks I figured it out :). Apperently there was a bootorder bar in which you had to drag pictures around, instead of clicking it. Thanks again for your help!
