Windows 10 USB not detected
I bought Windows 10 Full Version (USB stick) recently but my BIOS does not recognise the usb stick. I tried booting my own usb drive loaded with windows 8 (using Rufus) but even that was not detected. My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 Rev 2.2. I have a UEFI Bios interface but when I check BIOS version from System Information (msinfo32) it show "Legacy BIOS". I have previously used bootable usb sticks to install windows but this time my pc seems blind to any and all usb drives.
I have gone through the motherboard manual and a couple hundred forum posts to solve the issue but most of the answers mention BIOS settings that I don't have. I'm currently running windows 10 (upgraded version) but I desperately want a clean installation using the newly purchased Windows.
I am very cofused about UEFI and it's relation with windows 10. I am at my wit's end. HELP please!!!
