[SOLVED] Windows 10 and a weird Asus motherboard

[anthonyrc2597]

I just built my first PC with an Asus Prime Z370 Motherboard and now that I finally turned it on I'm stuck in the BIOS menu. I've tried to install Windows 10 to maybe get me out of the BIOS but nothing the BIOS menu is the only thing it auto takes me too everytime it boots up

How did you try to install Windows 10? Did you set the BIOS to boot from what device you're using to install Windows (e.g. USB drive or DVD)?

I tried using a USB drive. I used the media creation tool download for it and I set the device as the priority boot

This is unlikely to work, but have you tried using other USB ports on the motherboard? I know in Windows 7 times you weren't able to boot from USB 3.0 slots, only from USB 2.0.

You may just need to try the different USB ports available on the back of the motherboard.

Yeah I put it in all 6 usb's and nothing

Do you have access to another computer to see if that one will boot up from the USB drive?

Only thought I have right now is may be the drive wasn't created correctly.

did you go to the boot menu in advanced view of bios and turn off fast boot? Secure boot may also be on and will stop PC from booting from the USB

Your manual - https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/PRIME_Z370-A/E13271_PRIME_Z370-A_UM_WEB.pdf (fast boot mentioned on page 3-21)

secure boot shouldn't be on in a new PC without windows installed.

yeah, check USB drive works as a boot drive.
