Windows 10: Caught in BIOS loop when trying to install Windows 10 Home from USB

I built my pc and installed an unactivated version of Windows 10 Pro. Fast forward to 6 months later, and I finally purchased a Windows 10 Home product key. I downloaded the Microsoft Media Creation Tool and used that to download the latest windows ISO to create a bootable USB. I have tried installing Windows over and over and over and have worked through numerous issues "Windows cannot boot from file partition GPT...", and "a media driver your computer needs is missing" and I'm now caught in a BIOS loop, where for some reason the computer can't boot from the USB flash drive, it just brings me back to the BIOS screen.


I went into the BIOS and chose Boot Mode as UEFI as opposed to "Legacy and UEFI", and moved "USB Key" to the top of the Boot. Security is disabled in BIOS. Legacy USB support is also disabled.


Is the computer tripping over the fact that Windows 10 Pro is installed? How can I fix this?


Specs of my computer:

AMD Ryzen AM4 motherboard

16 GB RAM

HD: 1T SATA drive, 500GB SSD


I have spent hours and hours trying to figure this out, reading forum posts, watching YouTube videos, etc. I am dead on the water and would appreciate any help you can give.

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
