You're facing a common issue when installing Windows on a new PC via USB. The error message suggests the system is having trouble recognizing the installation media. Try these steps:

- Ensure the USB drive is properly seated and connected.
- Check that the Windows ISO file is complete and not corrupted.
- Disable any bootloader (like UEFI/BIOS) temporarily to test if it's the cause.
- Verify your USB port supports USB 2.0 or higher, as some systems require it.
- If possible, use a different USB port or cable to rule out hardware issues.

Let me know what you try!

No, I don't have a Windows 8 or 8.1 product key.

It depends on the USB installer and the ISO file you're using.

The product key is embedded within the USB installer file itself.

Is your PC equipped with UEFI? Which motherboard model does it use?

The package likely includes a label with a product code or key for activation.

I'm ready to wager that the installation media isn't set up properly. Please adhere to the instructions in my signature.

I obtained the product key from G2A, downloaded the ISO, and executed the USB installer. The PC model is a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 FX6300 WD Blue 1TB 8GB HyperX RAM. Regardless of the boot location, I received the error message.

You can't just paste files from the DVD or ISO directly onto the USB stick one by one—it doesn't work that way. You should use a program that creates an exact byte-for-byte copy, such as BurnISO or UNetbootin. Likely, this is what the issue involves.
