Hey there! It sounds like you're setting up your first PC outside of a Mac setup. You'll need a Windows USB BIOS to boot Windows, but since you don’t have a Windows machine to download it from, you might want to check if your PC has a BIOS setup tool or contact the manufacturer for guidance. Let me know if you need more help!
You need to install something like Bootcamp or Parallels on your Mac, though a Windows machine might be necessary for that. Alternatively, see if someone you know can lend them time and a computer to create a Windows 10 USB drive. The retail version usually includes a USB installation, but you’d still pay around 100 to 150 USD for the key plus the USB.
It allows me to download the bios, but when I open it it shows all the files in the bios folder. Moving them to a flash drive doesn't help.
Write the file directly to the storage device rather than saving it to a partition. Suggest using Rufus or Balena Etcher for this process.
BIOS refers to the firmware of your motherboard. To update BIOS, you can obtain files from the motherboard support website using any operating system. The motherboard will update its BIOS before the operating system boots. For Windows installation, you can download the ISO directly from the Microsoft website as mentioned. If you're using an operating system other than Windows 7 and newer, you'll need another program to "burn" the ISO onto a USB drive. Simply dragging files onto a drive won't make it bootable. For a detailed guide on this process on macOS, refer to https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-cr...k-on-macos. This tutorial is tailored for Ubuntu but works with any ISO, yielding the same outcome.
