Can't boot off usb stick with windows 10 iso on it...(UEFI)

[jaymc]

Hey people,

I'm after building this pc, buying parts over time (long time actually) but I finally put it together last night with a friend.. I installed linux on it last night no problem... I extracted a Linux Mint iso onto me usb stick and it booted off it no problem and installed !! it's a ripper by the..an octacore with a 240 ssd an 16gb of 2400mhz ram..

But I tried the same trick with win10.. (should of installed it first actually) i'd like to setup a dual boot. I extracted an iso onto my usb stick and just wont boot off it....

Where am I going wrong is there an option in the BIOS or something.. I've had a look can't see anything myself. it's set to boot off usb first an all that. stumped !!!

Anyway,

All help is greatly appreciated as usual...
Regards,
Jay

Hi, Try using Rufus when extracting the iso https://rufus.akeo.ie/
