My friend is building a pc and I offered to install win 10 on his hard drive for him as I have done this a few times. I created a new USB Boot using Win 10 Media Creation Tool. I removed my hhd and installed his and proceeded to boot using the USB. Windows installer pops up. I am able to see his drive as unallocated. I am able to select it and format it then install Win 10 Home. After that the pc restarts where I pull the USB and boot from the hhd but it doesn't. The pc gives an error to install a boot drive or boot media.
When I go into BIOS it is reading his drive in the SATA port it plugged into but its missing from the UEFI boot priority list. I have my Bios set to boot UEFI instead of CSM. I also have it on AHCI instead of raid. The USB installer is FAT32 and the drive is NTFS. Looking at the diskpart list drive it has a * under the GPT column for the drive.
Not to sure what I am doing wrong here. If any one could break it down it would be much appreciated.
Edit- the mobo we are both using is a MSI B450 Tomahawk Max and the drive is a Seagate Barracuda 3tb
