For booting from USB with Windows ISO, you’ll need to restart your system and enter BIOS manually. Since the start screen isn’t available, follow the steps on your motherboard manual to access BIOS. Once there, you can select the USB drive as the boot device. If you need more details on your specific model, let me know!

Hey! It looks like USB boot might already be active. Try connecting it to see how it behaves. If not, you should be able to enter BIOS without restarting the OS. Check your motherboard’s manual to find the required key—often F8, DEL, F12 or a combination works. Just plug in the USB and give it a try!

Also remember, you can't simply store an ISO file on a USB flash drive. The drive must be configured to boot and the ISO needs to be extracted. That's why tools like Windows Media Creation Tool are useful, so you can prepare your flash drive: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software.../windows10 (click on Download tool now)

I just figured out that there's a Novo button which can access BIOS and Boot Setup. Yes I know that I can change the boot order so that the USB drive boot first, however I'm worried that after the installation complete and when it restarts, it will boot to the USB drive again instead of SSD. Any ideas?

It doesn't automatically boot to USB. The program needs a splash screen first. If you don't see it, you'll move to the next device in line. You can press any key to start the process, which usually takes about 15 seconds.

If the USB is already assigned as the first boot device, you can still end the installation by pressing the power button and selecting 'End' or 'Cancel' on the Windows setup screen. Since the system is already using an SSD, you won’t need to use the Novo button to configure the boot order while the PC is running.

It will prompt you to press any key at any time. If you attempt it immediately without planning to install, you'll notice the splash screen. Also, I believe it will perform a soft boot and skip the splash screen during setup. The installation will complete and place it on your desktop afterward.
