HELP! Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device ERROR

[Habibikr]

Thank you in advance.
I have just finished building my PC (specs below), and get into ASUS BIOS. The BIOS recognises all the hardware, and everything works seamlessly. The problem appears when I click boot from Sandisk USB (ExFat) to boot up Windows 10 (downloaded onto the USB from a macbook). Instead of starting up Windows 10 for the first time, the message “reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key_” appears. I have searched online for upwards of 7 hours, asked friends, double checked the hardware (which seems in perfect condition), played around with the CSM (and now put it back to default), but nothing seems to be working. Could the problem be that I cannot open the windows 10 download on my macbook and accept their agreements?
Please, I would love any suggestions or advice from anyone.

Specs (all new): Ryzen 5 3600, Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming, GTX 1650 super, G-Skill 16GB 3200Mhz, BeQuiet PurePower 600w, Cooler master Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU Cooler, 4 fans.

This is the error which appears.

I try and avoid MAcs, so no expert, but I don’t think the Mac would create a bootable USB stick that Windows can use.
that USB stick with your WIn10 ISO on it would be better created using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool on a Windows PC.
during that process, it’ll prompt you to save it as an ISO, do that. then I use an ISO tool that ‘burns’ it and makes a bootable USB drive of it.
I can’t remember if that process also allows the creation of the USB stick itself.
