Windows 10: "No device drivers were found" when installing Windows 10 using a USB

I have just finished a PC build and when booting windows it tells me "No device drivers were found". Many users have said simply to switch USB ports to 2.0 ports but my PC case is a newer model and only has USB 3.0 ports. Many have also said to use an ISO file on the USB and that hasn't worked either. My last effort was to use an entirely different USB stick and install using Rufus but this too was a failure. Is there any way for me to boot my computer?? HELP!

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
