I have a B450 Aorus Elite AMD4 motherboard and I am unable to get it to recognize a Windows USB stick which I bought from Microcenter. If I put a plain USB stick in the port, the mobo BIOS will recognize it, but the USB stick I bought with Windows on it, it won't see it.

Everytime I boot, I get the message ...
"Reboot and Select a proper boot device or Insert Media in selected Boot device and press a key"

Anyone have ideas?
 
Solution
If you have the key, you can make a bootable USB drive by using Microsoft Media Creator, and then use the provided key to activate it.
