do you have usb 2 and usb 3 ports on laptop
if i recall correctly, the mobos of the day did not accept booting from usb3 and had to use the usb2 ports for os installation

I do yes, and tried it in a USB 2.0 port.
That didn't work.
So I re burnt media creation tool on another USB drive.
And it worked.

I don't have working WiFi yet on the laptop so will have to get the driver installed before I can do any more for now.
But pleased with the speedy boot and Windows is much more snappier already.
