    My motherboard can't install Windows from USB


    Hello


    I'm upgrading from a notebook and building a PC. The motherboard is Gigabyte B550M. The hard drive is a new fresh empty SSD.


    I wanted to install Windows 10, and I've gone through the media creation process from another Windows laptop and have prepared the USB drive.


    If I insert this USB drive in the new computer with no operating system, all I see after booting is the 4-pane Windows Logo and it's been like that for an hour.

    If I insert the same USB drive with Linux Ubuntu 16.04 ISO installed on it, it boots all the way to the Ubuntu operating system.


    There isn't a way to disable Secure Boot on this computer I have CSM enabled which should disable Secure Boot and I don't know why that should matter if I can boot Ubuntu fine. It seems it is only a problem with the Windows Media Creation tool.

    I don't have a DVD drive, what other ways do I have to install Windows? Can I install Windows after installing Ubuntu without booting from USB?

    :)

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
