Hi I have just built my PC and now trying to install windows 11. I purchased a copy of windows with a USB stick. Go into the bios to select the USB key as my boot option, but when I restart it keeps taking me back into the bios. Can anyone advice what I am doing wrong.

Consider setting "UEFI USB Key" first. If your motherboard includes a one-time boot menu hotkey, press it during startup to choose the drive manually. Also, try connecting the drive directly to a port on the motherboard's rear I/O instead of a case port, which removes another variable. You can always proceed with creating your own drive using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool—your license remains valid as long as you use the same edition purchased.

I used the USB key. I will attempt to download it on another USB key to check for any issues with the provided one.
