Question Lenovo wont boot with Media Creation Tool Win10

[JerryJG]

I have the following problem.
I wanted to reinstall Windows 10 on my Lenovo Ideacentre 310S.
So I installed a Win10 iso file on a USB stick.
USB stick plugged into the Lenovo and set as boot option. Now it does not boot.
Connected the hard drive and USB to another PC and formatted the hard drive on the other PC and installed windows.
Connected to the Lenovo but it does not recognize any OS.
USB stick again connected to the Lenovo but it does not load.
And sometimes it showed me different pictures:

-Windows logo (freeze)
-Windows logo "Automatic repair in progress"(freeze)
-Windows logo (image is extremely flickering and colorful (freeze))
- top left corner only "-" the sign and pc restart every 20sec

On the other PC the hard disk works with Windows.
changed Ram, Video cable, SSD, USB.
In Bios set to Legacy, secure boot turned off.

1. You can't boot from just the bare ISO
2. You can't install WIndows on one system, then move that drive to another PC/laptop

You need to run the MediaCreation tool, on your other PC, and use that to create the install media on your USB stick.

Right.

You create the install media (USB) from your other PC.
Then, boot the Lenovo from that USB, and install on the internal HDD.

OK...those are the correct steps. (assuming #2 is correct)

Try a different flash drive?

Yes does work

 

[USAFRet]

OK then.
That was to partially isolate the problem.

Seems to be something in the Lenovo.
