I tried all the steps I could find to set up Windows from a USB stick, but it didn’t work. Every time I start the PC, it either tries to reinstall or says nothing is installed, even though there’s about 10GB used on the SSD after installation. It doesn’t boot into Windows properly.
I generated the install media using the built-in tool. Secure boot was activated and CMSIS disabled.
It seems the system often restarts multiple times while setting up. Have you allowed it to do that? Once it stabilizes, it should reach the Windows desktop.
When you power on from the USB drive, does the Windows setup begin correctly? On reaching the destination selection screen, are you erasing all data from your chosen drive? This should be drive 0. If additional drives are present, verify you’re targeting the right one to avoid losing important files. A standard Windows install usually generates several partitions visible on the boot SSD—such as (EFI System Partition), (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Basic Data), and (Recovery). Select each partition individually and click the 'delete partition' option until nothing remains. No formatting is required; just proceed to next/install. After the initial installation phase finishes, remove the Windows USB stick promptly to prevent the PC from attempting another boot attempt. As mentioned, this is generally fine since BIOS boot priorities are adjusted, but it’s safer to be cautious. You’ll notice a progress bar indicating you have about 60 seconds or so before the system restarts after removal. If everything proceeds smoothly, the subsequent stage of installation will begin automatically. As @C2dan88 noted, make sure Secure Boot is turned off and CSM is disabled in your BIOS settings.
I've completed the bypass for TPM, RAM, and secure boot, yet Windows still installs but won't allow access to it.
It's unusual. Could you tell me how many hard drives or SSDs are currently installed on your PC? I'm not sure if I should recommend something unusual, but I wonder if you've set up the Windows installation media on a dedicated hard disk instead of a USB drive. It seems like you're trying to prepare for the install process even without the USB connected.
Have you noticed Intel's fast storage feature enabled in your BIOS? Consider turning it off if you wish.
