[SOLVED] Can't boot Windows 10 installer

[KyleTNN]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Windows 10 on a SSD drive. So I got the boot files via the Microsoft MediaCreationTool and put it on an USB drive. Then I disconnected my old HDD, changed the UEFI-Bios so the USB drive is first in the boot order.

But everytime after restarting the computer it just puts me back into the BIOS and doesn't attempt to install Windows. At this point I already tried a bunch of different Bios settings and I'm running out of ideas now.
I'm not quite sure which informations are needed to investigate this further but I'll try to provide them to the best of my ability.
I hope someone got any ideas how to solve this.

"got the boot files via the Microsoft MediaCreationTool "

How, exactly?
You ran the MediaCreation.exe tool, and it built the procedure on the USB?

 

[KyleTNN]

Yes, there was the option "USB-drive" or "ISO-file" and I selected USB-Drive then the program installed for some minutes.

OK, then this might be something in the BIOS boot order.

I thought so too but I tried every possible order, the result was always the same.

When you power up, what exactly happens?

Acts like a regular boot for about 5 seconds then it jumps into the BIOS. After I click save & exit the same process repeats itself every time.

Possibilities:
Try a different USB stick.
Try a different USB port.

what motherboard is it?

some have a mode called boot overrride you can use to make it boot off the USB. It might be in the system/advanced menu or on the save/exit screen, it depends who makes board.

Thanks USAFRet and Colif for your help! I found the problem. There was an issue with the formatting of the USB-Drive. After reformatting and reinstalling the booting files everything worked as intended. Sorry should have thought about that option earlier I was tunnel visioning to much.
