No Bootable device found

[augustineudo]

After assembling my brand new computer, I then continued to try booting up the setup for windows 10. After inserting my usb 3.0 I selected it as a bootable device in the BIOS menu. After restarting y computer and heading straight into the setup, I was asked to select a device to boot form. After selecting my usb I was met with an error message that no bootable device was found. I have tried alot of methods to try fixing this problem but nothing changed. I had even purchased a new motherboard and it did not fix the problem.

Could you include some info about your system components.
Let me see if I understood you issue. You are trying to install Windows from a USB drive but it is not detected as a bootable device.

How did you create the USB installation media?
Did you first try booting from the flash drive without changing the BIOS settings?
If you didn't then reset your BIOS to default settings and try to BOOT, the USB might be automatically detected.

Also, pressing F12 allows you access the boot menu and select the USB drive.

And yes I have tried everything you have mentioned.

Since hardware doesn't seem to be an issue (unless the flash drive suddenly died), it sounds like the image file wasn't formatted correctly. One can't just copy-paste the ISO file, there's a specific way of using said ISO file to create a bootable drive with a USB. You'll want the Media Creation Tool to properly format the USB as a Windows boot device.

I know this was a pain for me, I had tried to install several different ways, disk and USB, and even used 3rd party formatting software. I thought the official tool was taking too long (20+ minutes on my old laptop). In the end, I used the official tool and got the desired results.

I don't know if that's for sure the issue, but it's all I can think of.

I used the media tool initially. After that didn't work, I tried using the program Rufus. Howe ever that also didn't help me in the end.

Just re-attempt the process with the creation tool, it may take a few tries; as I said, it's a pain. I think I ended up using the tool... 5 times before I got it right? But maybe it's just the USB device you're using? Trying another might work.

- Try disabling secure boot in BIOS settings if it is there!

I would try using an Ultimate Boot CD ISO image and rufus to create a bootable USB drive using the one you are trying to boot from. If it boots from that then the problem is the Windows ISO you are using. If it doesn't then that means it's an issue with either BIOS configuration, motherboard limitation, or the flash drive.

Try it on another PC and see if you can boot from it. If it works that gives you a lot of information.
