Question Bootable USB not showing

[nicklaswallace]

Hello everyone, so I bought a used pc and intended on upgrading some parts and reselling it to my friend. As I’m performing, or attempting, to perform a clean windows 10 install, I have run into an issue. I used the windows media creation tool via my personal computer and put it on my 30gb USB. When plugging it into my second pc (one I want to fresh install), I run into the bios and the USB is not an option (doesn’t show). I know this USB works because I’ve done it on my computer several times whenever I want a fresh install. I’ve disabled secure boot to see if that would allow it to show, which it didn’t. I’ve enabled the UEFI thing (idk what it’s called). That’s the only things I could think of in terms of it not showing. Also yes the usb was formatted before putting the windows creation tool on. Any suggestions? Motherboard is asus prime z370-p

Yes, I formatted it myself previously and then went through the entire process

The USB stick also does not show up on file explorer on the second computer… the USB port works since I plugged a mouse in there and the USB works on my computer. So I’m not sure if there’s some sort of setting that’s preventing the second computer from detecting the USB stick itself

Did you check in BIOS and set USB ports as Legacy ?

I can’t seem to figure out how do to that. Any tips? I looked under the boot menu on the bios
