Trouble installing windows

[Anjelllo]

I’m trying to install windows and I don’t know which device to boot from. 

Maybe I’m just being stupid, but I’ve booted from every single one of these, and the computer just keeps restarting after I do that. The flash drive I’m using has a windows 10 Iso put on it with rufus ( windows media creation tool gave me an error every time I tried using it).

Pull the usb out and see which USB option vanishes from the list when you boot to bios again.

Then you know which one it is.

go into bios boot settings, does your usb show up there?

None of them do

Use the official windows media creation tool, and if your USB drive doesn't work you need a larger one or different one because clearly there is something wrong with it.

That’s the only boot menu I can see

I’ve tried it with multiple flash drives, just gives me two different error codes, I looked them up and the fixes that worked for some others don’t for me.

Hmmm.  Are you plugging it into the mother board directly or the front panel?  Do the MB directly if not.

Also, I would use the Windows official media creator as suggested above.  Rufus is good, but official is better.

Have you tried using a different PC then?

Or different USB port?

Are you sure you're using the tool correctly?

Yeah, It’s in the motherbord not the panel

I moved some files into it to check if it was working beforehand,

this is my bios screen:

I downloaded the Iso directly from windows, all I did was use the default settings in rufus and direct it the use the iso. I haven’t tried booting from it on another pc, I’ll try that now.

I mean using a different pc to make the usb properly.

Boot from usb, not sure what board you are using it looks old, it might be able to boot only from cd.

It’s working properly when I test it on another pc.

It’s an am3+ board, do those only boot from cd? I figured it would probably work since it gave me the option to boot from a usb type

It should be ablet too boot from usb. You can get your Hard drive, put it in a different pc, install windows and place the hard drive back into this pc if you have issues with a direct install.

Ok well that other PC must have a really old motherboard or something.

You can try enabling/disabling "legacy" or "usb compatibility" options in the BIOS, that may let the USB work.

If changing those settings doesn't help then you need to use a CD drive and burn windows to a disk.

Windows should never be installed on a different PC than the one it will be working on.

I have done that numerous times, believe me it works just fine.

Usb legacy function is enabled, I think I’m going to try what @Konrad Kwasniewski Said, as I have no cd’s on me atm

Yeah sure, just wait until a few months from now a windows update comes out and fails to install, or makes your OS start behaving weird or simply not work.

Then you will just blame windows 10 when the problem was actually you.

Well, I did that even with windows 7 a couple of years ago and all those pc's run fine till this day, updated to Windows 10, I know that someone might have had problems, but I am speaking from my own experience.
