Windows 10 USB device fails to start due to persistent splash screen on MSI B550 motherboard.
I've completed everything before. I've also attempted to set up Linux, but the issue persists—no Windows logo appears, only a spinning motherboard bar in the bottom-left corner, and no further progress occurs.
Windows installs basic drivers for the hardware on your system. When relocating computers, it attempts to locate alternative drivers for new parts. After installing Windows from a laptop, did you install MSI MBOO drivers for all components before moving devices? You might want to boot from a "rescue" setup such as Hiren's BootCD or SystemRescue. If using a USB drive, try starting with the simplest configuration—no SSD and just one RAM stick—to help pinpoint the issue causing the freeze.
I just sent in a return request for the CPU and motherboard, planning to receive replacement parts. The same components will be used again, so I'm checking if this affects the result.
