Windows 10: MediaCreationTool on USB

My computer has not been booting properly, and I was told the best option was to install Windows on a USB using MediaCreationTool and go from there.


However I'm only able to get onto my desktop using Safe Mode with Networking, and whenever I click setup on my USB it says that I can't use Safe Mode. How can I use this then?
