How do you boot from usb on a gigabyte b450m ds3h?
I also downloaded Rufus and used that as the instal for the iso files.

Just unplug any other drives you have and it should do it automatically.

Well I have tried that it just doesn’t show in the boot options.. Could you possibly give me a better guide for booting from usb? Or well a better guide to make a bootable usb?

1. shutdown computer if not already
2. insert "bootable" USB drive into USB port.
3.turn on computer
4. look for light on USB drive to see if it is accessing the drive and not booting into your OS.

if the USB drive does not boot lookup what key to press at startup to get into the boot menu to select the USB drive

that info can be found in your motherboard Manuel

That didn’t work it doesn’t show up even though the usb is blinking.

at this point we will need to know what is on the USB drive because its possible you did not make it bootable.

I used Rufus and the download from the media creation tool from microsoft. I could tell you exact files if you want to know. It shows boot folder, efi folder, sources folder, support folder, autorun info, bootmgr, bootmgr.efi, setup

no that is enough, unless the right settings were not selected in rufus when making the drive in rufus that may be an issue but i wouldn't think so. i would try making using rufus again to put the ISO on the USB drive and if that doesn't work then make it with the media creation tool. if nether of those things work then try another USB stick

also have you tried using another USB port? maybe a port on the back of the PC instead of using a port on the front of your case?
