Boot usb not working

[Taghera]

No, how do I do that?

I found how to turn the quick boot of but all that’s now happening is the pc sits on the motherboard screen for 3 to 4 mins then nothing.
As I said before its an old computer, and the only reason I still have it is I let my grandkids play their games on it, but if you guys can’t help me then I’ll have to take it to a computer shop.
Any further ideas please.

You said you installed windows on the drive using another computer
If you put that drive in this computer does it just BSOD ?

[PeterOz]

hdd is ok because on another pc I was able to install windows.

What os is on the other system.
does this computer have a dvd
does this computer have a floppy drive?

Can you burn a cd/dvd on any computer?

[PeterOz]

Is it a usb 2 (black)

You did not answer this about the usb stick
and are you plugging into a usb port on the back of the computer

50/50 chance it would boot or blue screen.

You still have not answered is usb stick Black on the connector.
It matters /

Ok I need to test a couple of things - Any of your computers have win 7 ? just as a thought.

What I will test is
make a bootable cd/dvd that will give me a cmd prompt
From that boot to cmd then change to usb and run the install exe from the usb.

This will happen sometime today.
I need to trash a pc first back to a blank hdd and create the files and test.
I will start on this before I start work but I won’t be able to finish before I have to start work.
So I will get back to you today at some time

What i did ( I have listed D: drive because that was my usb Change D to what your usb is ) if not clear ask
Went to Aomei AOMEI Software Download Center
Download the free version and install.
Go to tools>Create Bootable Media
Choose WindoswPE (it will download from internet.)
Next
Choose burn to CD - If it says no cd burner
Choose Export ISO file
Next - let it burn the cd or make the iso
If you can’t burn to cd from the program let it build the iso onto desktop
When finished
Right click on the iso and burn - Windows 10 has built in burner.
Choose to verify when burning.
When finished
Put cd and usb into trouble computer
Boot from cd (do you know how)
Choose option 0 from the boot menu - No emulation
When it boots click on Tools
Click on Windows Shell Command
at the prompt type in
Diskpart [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Press enter
type in
List Vol [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Press Enter
This will show your drives (we hope)
Find the usb drive e.g mine was D;
Type in
exit [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]press enter
Back at the X:\windows\system32 prompt
Type in

At the D: type in
Setup [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Press enter

Do you get the install screen for windows 10?
