Windows not loading on new computer

Yesterday I built a new computer, I booted it up and all was good until I tried putting windows on it. I put a USB with windows 10 in and changed the booting order on my BIOS. When I run it, instead of loading windows it says "error loading operating system" with no type of other information.

Maybe the problem is I don't have a hard drive? I have my SSD installed and it recognizes it, but my hard drive hasn't arrived yet. Other than that I don't know what the problem is, I've spent hours reading articles and watching tutorial videos to no avail

Here's some pictures of what happens if that helps

    Hi Chris, depending on your BIOS version, there are sometimes many options to be changed for you to be able to boot form a flash drive . . .

    Make there changes (if available) and see if your system boots from the installation media - don't worry, you can always restore defaults if that does not work . . .

    Insert the Bootable Installation Media, then go into your BIOS and make the following changes:

    1. Disable Secure Boot
    2. Enable Legacy Boot
    3. If Available enable CSM
    4. If Required enable USB Boot
    5. Move the device with the bootable disc to the top of the boot order
    6. Save BIOS changes, restart your System and it should boot from the Installation Media
