Dave-ee Jones Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 What Windows version are you trying to boot (7, 8, 10)? What are your boot settings in the BIOS (legacy or UEFI or auto)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-ee Jones Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Okay, Windows 10 likes UEFI more than Legacy so try booting the USB in UEFI mode. If that doesn't work it could be that the USB has not been correctly set up to be bootable. Is it one that Microsoft (or a reseller) sold you (or someone else)? If it's one you've made yourself maybe try retrying the build process (e.g. use Rufus to write a Windows 10 iso to the USB), it could be you forgot something or missed a step. Also, keep in mind that Windows 10 requires at least 16 GB of storage space, and your laptop only has 16 GB of storage space which means once Windows 10 has been installed there's no breathing room for programs, files or whatever else you want to store on the drive. It may not even let you install to the disk once you select it, as well, but I'm not sure. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
