My motherboard is a B450M gaming plus and i have a msi 1050 Ti geforcegtx GPU. I have a Rysen 3 CPU w/ Radeon Vega graphics. A Rosewill 700w PSU, 2x8gb corsair DDR4 RAM 3000MHz, and a Barracuda 1tb 7200rpm internal HD. I have a ink to download windows 10 64. And I want that to go to my PC.

So this is a whole new PC?
Easy.

You need an 8TB 8GB(!) or larger USB flash drive, and some other working PC.
Download the MediaCreation tool direct from MS.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Use that to build the Win 10 install on the flash drive.
