Reinstalling Windows 10 from a USB drive

My computer is stuck in an automatic repair loop, and I’ve been trying everything to get it fixed. I installed the media creation tool onto a USB drive with 32gb of storage and I can’t figure out how to use it to do a fresh Windows 10 install. I can’t get past the blue screen/BIOS screen. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

    I’ve attempted your instructions on three different USB drives and have been met with the same “No signed drivers were found” message.

    Hello Doug,

    Thank you for updating me with that information. This just indicates that your USB Installation media is somehow corrupted. Please try creating a USB Installation media again using the instructions in my first response or try another USB flash drive.

    Kind regards,

    Hello, I followed the instructions, booted the drive from my Bios settings, got to the windows setup screen, and it tells me “No signed drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.”
