ASRock Z170 K6+ Unable to boot from USB stick

[olvlvl]

Hello,

I'm unable to install Windows 10 from a USB stick, it's not recognized as bootable. I downloaded the image from Microsoft website https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO and used the following command to burn the USB sticks, one USB2, the other USB3:

sudo dd if=Win10_1607_N_EnglishInternational_x64.iso of=/dev/rdisk4 bs=16m

(I'm doing this from my Mac Book Pro.)

I tried all USB ports, even connected the USB2 ports on the mother board, nothing works. I can choose the devices from the boot menu but I allway get a message saying that I should insert a bootable device.

I have the following hardware installed:

- CPU: i76600K
- RAM: Corsair CMK16GX4M4A2800C16 (listed as compatible by ASRock)

Also, I flashed the EUFI with the latest version available, but it didn't change anything.

Can you help?

I think the only way you can do that on a mac is to run windows in bootcamp on your mac.

Other than that, get on a friends windows pc and download the microsoft media creation tool to make a bootable usb or dvd.

I gave up on booting on USB, because using PC tools to burn the USB sticks didn't help at all. I bought an internal bluray drive and installed windows from a DVD. Anyway, if somebody has an answer, I'd really like to know if it's at all possible to boot from USB.
