just dug out my desktop, and need to install windows, however there's no boot option for usb, it's running latest driver, al though thats from 2010.

is there anyway to install from usb?
it doesn't have a cd drive etc.

yep latest bios(although asus hasn't updated it since 2010, yep x58.
nope, no option in bios to boot from usb. HDD, cd or floppy i only option.

yep its set to auto.
what a pain,suppose i'll have to swap ssd in laptop, install windows there, then hope it boots pc. darn old or maybe broken hardware, although i'm sure i've done it before.

created using the windows media tool, so proper bootable usb.
and nope not showing as a hdd.
also tried doing it again incase it was a bad copy and still doing the same.

no safe mode or anything, its got an extremely old version of w10 insider on it which has long since expired and just get a you need to reinstall windows screen.
