[SOLVED] issues with the booting portion of making a computer

[cervicks]

here's the build
GPU
HP AMD Radeon RX580 RX 580 4GB GDDR5 PCI-e Video Card HDMI 3x- D-Port 931738-001

Cpu
AMD ryzen 5 3600

Motherboard
B450i aorus pro wifi

Ram
Corsair vengeance lpx 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

Storage

Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (pulled from my old prebuilt pc)
Western Digital WD_BLACK SN750 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

Case
NZXT H210 Mini ITX Tower Case

PSU
EVGA P2 650 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

I have the SanDisk 128GB Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive - 130MB/s - SDCZ48-128G-AW46 and I couldn't transfer a windows 10 iso file to it since fat32 doesn't allow transfers over 4Gb, and the recent windows 10 file is around 5.9 Gb. However, I tried converting the thumb drive to becoming an exfat to fit the larger file size, no matter what I did, I kept encountering the "enter boot device and press any key or restart the machine" prompt.

I read somewhere on quora that you can't boot with a USB if it isn't formatted as fat 32, so I reformatted it and I tried to boot it, and it still wouldn't recognize the USB having a boot file. Im using ISO files which i don't know if its the proper thing to do.

you can have ntfs...on flash drive it doesnt really matter, but .iso file will not boot from flash drive, you have to use either windows setup to create bootable USB drive or something like rufus which can use that iso to creeate bootable content on your flash drive
