My DIY 2016 puter boots up I think but monitor window say no connection.

You would only get such a message when not booting from the Linux USB.

Shutdown the PC and remove the Linux USB, restart and enter the BIOS so that the boot sequence can be put back to the way that you had it, reference the below;

the Windows is the first in the boot sequence and it is on the samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe drive.

Restart the PC with the Samsung SSD as the first boot device and let us know if you get the restart and select proper device message to which I previously referred.

I think u may have misunderstood me. I remover the USB and restarted and it goes to the UEFI bios. Checked the Boot sequence and the Samsung 960 was first. It goes directly to that. I then put the USB back in and it stops at the screen in the attached photo. I then have to click on the top highlighted line to continue booting into LM. I tried moving the highlighted line down and hit enter and it went to just a older type bios screen. So the screen is from the boot with the USB. Well I hope this helps.

The pic above is with the USB plugged in, after shutting down the PC can you remove the Linux USB, restart the PC and provide a BIOS picture of the Samsung SSD when it is first in the boot sequence.

That’s the one and the good news is that the Samsung SSD is detected so chances are it is just Windows that is bad and needs to be clean installed.

You need a 16GB or above USB flashdrive, when ready go here for how to download you ISO etc, you want the option for use on another PC.

Once you have your ISO, take your two data drives offline, change the boot sequence so that the PC boots from USB, shutdown, put the USB flashdrive into one of the black USB 2.0 ports, restart and install Windows.

Any problems, you may ned to disable secure boot so that the PC can boot from your flashdrive.

I purchased Win10 in 2016 and installed it. In moving stuff around during our remodel projects it is lost. So I can’t seem to locate the USB it came on nor the product key. Went to the site you said and copied the ISO onto a 32gb USB and it stopped during boot sequence and pop up as below in the pic. I made up the USB on an older Mac, on a MS-Fat format so I am not sure it is right. Still scouring 4.5 acres of junk for the original USB and/or the product key. Contacting the company I purchased it from, but no reply as of yet. Also scanned my Msft acct. but no key yet. Ideas?

Sorry but we can`t vouch for anything that has been done any other than the way that was advised, I know zero about Macs so am unable to comment about it.

No need to worry about any product key as along with the MB details it is stored on the Microsoft servers and gets checked when you update Windows to make sure that the product key is being used with the correct MB.

You need to create the ISO on a Windows machine I`m afraid.

working on that, Thanks
