Windows 10 Boot from USB Help cannot access BIOS
Hello. I am not a huge computer tech guy here but can understand basic functions of a PC. I have a PC I bought off of someone, it's fairly new, 5 months old. Has windows 10 installed and want to put a clean install of OS in it. I do not have the windows CD but it is a legit copy. I have the p[roduct code. I've tried to enter BIOS to boot from the USB I made but cannot find a way to do so.When I press DEL to acces 'BIOS SETUP" it goes to CMOS for some reason. I then go to advanced bios settings and try to use all the USB options as a first boot options ie. USB-HDD, USB-ZIP, USB-FDD, and a few more i've tried.
The reason I have to do a USB boot is because I get a message that says there was a problem resetting the PC and then just goes back to the main screen and nothing is erased. Any ideas?
thanks
