    I still can't get it to boot from usb for some reason.

    If you're sure the boot order is correct then the media may be somewhow corrupt. Try recreating it using the media creation tool.

    Hi @colton tinnin ,

    if the USB stick is bootable you can try to press F8 to F11/F12 key to get to the boot menu of the laptop. Which F-key is working depends on the BIOS manufacturer and/or version.

    You can try ESC, F2, ... as well to enter the BIOS and change the boot order from HDD first to USB first.

    Sounds like you'll need to change the device boot order in cmos setup. The pc or mother board manual should have instructions.
