Hey guys,
I build a new pc, first new build in 20 years.
I’m using an ASUs tug gaming x670e plus WiFi motherboard with and 7800x3d cpu.

I’m stuck with the windows installation from usb.
First attempt I used a SanDisk 8gb stick and windows media creator. That’s right load, but looking back that was probably because of bios settings.
second attempt I used a leef 16gb stick. Art the verify stage at 99% it failed.
Third attempt save stick same method created the usb successfully. Had to pay around a lot with bios settings to get the stick seen as bootable. But during the windows installation it reported a file inaccessible or missing. Soo I put the stick in another machine to check but the file in question was there.
Soo I tried again, but now it cannot start up from the usb stick.

I’m in progress of creating an iso usb using the 8gb SanDisk drive, but I think I’m missing something significant.
I’ve attached my bios settings for booting.
If anyone can give some clarification, that would be greatly appreciated! If I can’t die this tonight I’ll bring it in a shop this weekend (just for a windows installation, sigh)

This... happy hunting.
Make a cloned copy of the disk once loaded and configured but before adding data, antivirus or trashware with Acronis to a spare hdd for easy OS restore.
*Redundantly backup critical data, first*
Separate data drives + OS drive are best plus the backup drives that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.

Managed to get an install.
Had to change a few bios settings (apparently one of the videos I watched for the right bios settings was the exact opposite of what was needed). Agassi used an iso stick.
That seemed to do the trick.

Thanks for the suggestions. It’s much appreciated.
I managed to get things installed. My issues were a combination of bad luck with my usb drives (and how the bootable stick was generated), as well as some poor advice on YouTube that told me the opposite of what was needed.

I also had problems obtaining an activation key legally, but that got resolved as well, so I finally managed to get my pc up and running.

Thanks again for the suggestions!
