Hi, I just set up the new system and everything works fine in BIOS. After installing a genuine Windows 10 USB stick, the BIOS didn’t recognize it at all. I checked the media format—it’s FAT32, but another USB drive was present. My PC specs include an AS Rock B650 Pro with AMD Ryzen 5 7600, Kingston Fury DDR5 5600MHz, Samsung SSD 950 Pro NVMe M.2, and an RTX 3080 cooler master v1000. I only have a Mac for troubleshooting or creating other media.

Is this still a Windows 10 installation USB? Yes, MS provides physical copies as such, though they aren't encrypted. Someone could have modified it and turned it into a standard flash drive for data use. In that case, it would require reimaging with the bootable installer.

Yes, it is correct. It has been with me since the last update. I stored it on a bootable USB drive. It turned out I needed to switch from UEFI to legacy in the BIOS boot settings. All the information I found online suggested against doing that. I managed it successfully. Thank you for your response, it means a lot.
