Hey,
Struggling a bit to re install windows 10 from usb. My SSD has been on its way out for a while with random errors so today i decided to replace before it went kaput, anyway while i was trying to move the windows 10 files across from the old to new ssd it crashed only problem was it crashed after deleting windows so im stuck without an OS, so i've tried making a bootable USB struggling a bit with that as im trying to do it from a mac and info seems to be scarce, but ive used some software called etcher to put the windows 10 iso (from windows site) on a sandisk usb stick which I have formatted to Exfat. Using etcher went smoothly and said process was complete and usb was no showing a disk (assuming good). Plugged into my PC its showing as a boot option but whenever I select it it says. "An operating system wasn't found." So now im completely stumped and all I can seem to find on google is how to make a windows usb to use on mac on a mac. I need to make a Windows bootable usb on a mac for use on windows. Thanks in advance guys and sorry for the essay.
 
Update: I thought it might be something to do wit the installation file or maybe even to do with format of the USB stick, I've tried to re format and delete the files of the stick but now i seem to have been locked out of my USB stick with read only permissions. It goes from bad to worse, i just wanna play some game:(
