I’m not sure if I’m in the right spot, but I bought a PC and they teased me—it was running Windows XP, but it has my graphics card, RAM, and CPU. However, it won’t boot from the UBS Windows 10 bootable USB. The settings show something like “Nvidia Corp” on a black screen, then it goes black repeatedly. I need help because this is for my dad’s birthday and only two more days left! Please assist me!

I removed the USB and it displayed "Run Windows normally," then it abruptly transitions to a black screen.

If you press Safe Mode, it might display confusing messages you can't understand. Try restarting your device or checking the instructions for more guidance.

What are the details of the device? You might have to adjust the USB flash drive for bootability on that system—since it relies on a conventional BIOS, it should be formatted with an MBR instead of a GPT layout.

It's a Windows XP Professional setup... I’m not sure about the motherboard, but checking the BIOS will show you the correct USB formatting. Also, I’ll create a video to walk you through the process! You’re welcome to ask for help.
