first, have a windows installer on a usb. an easy way to do this is to take a windows 10 pc, plug your usb into it and download the windows media creator tool from the microsoft websites. Then, follow the instructions o the tool to create a windows 10 installer on your USB. You will need minimum 8gb. This might take up to 15 mins. after that, you can plug the usb into your mac with no os on it. If this still doesnt work, check your hard drive.

i did the same with this but with windows 7 installation, the usb didn't got detected then i change the usb into gpt and restart the macbook again, and this time it appears but it won't boot into the usb, instead it boot into the windows
