I'm using Linux Mint, so kindly avoid suggestions that won't work there. A few days ago I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO file and used the built-in tool to create a bootable USB. After moving the file onto the stick, I accessed my BIOS and tried booting from it. The boot option appeared but pressing it brought me back to the BIOS screen. Could you assist me? Thank you in advance.

did you erase it onto the USB drive or simply put the file there? if you didn’t burn it to the USB stick, maybe your device wasn’t new and had existing files—checking if an ISO could be a better option might help. I’m not sure about any tools for Linux Mint, but I hope this gives you some guidance.

I think it was destroyed on the USB drive. All files were removed from the device when the process started. I’ll attempt to locate a third-party tool and use it. Appreciate your assistance.
