    Can you buy an 8GB key. (or borrow from friend)

    Looks like it is getting late in your time zone.

    This is your post #6. According to it, you tried to convert to GPT, but you were unclear as to what procedure you tried.

    Guys i've read that if i have uefi bootable usb (Microsoft one) i can only boot it on uefi bios. Since i have legacy now i cannot boot it. Can this be true?

    If you'll create an Install USB Media using the Media Creation Tool your computer will boot either legacy or UEFI depending on what you select from the override boot menu.

    I'm going to try to answer this way.

    If you use the MCT tool to create a bootable USB thumbdrive it will boot legacy or UEFI.

    You said you loaded defaults in BIOS so CSM is enabled and the opther options default to UEFI

    Again your disk needs to be GPT. If you have no data on disk that you need you boot from USB. On first screen you hold shift and press F10.

    at the command prompt

    diskpart
    List disk
    Select disk X (where x is the drive number you want to install windows on)
    clean
    Convert GPT
    exit
    exit

    Continue with your install. This WIPES EVERYTHING from disk. Have your data off machine.

    Once installed post disk management screen shot.

    I've not had my hands on an official Microsoft manufactured usb, but I'd be very surprised if it didn't have the same uefi and legacy boot files as one made by the MCT. In fact, the OP has confirmed that it has the efi files in post #59 (and we already know it boots in legacy).

    No, the usb isn't the problem, the bios or motherboard is the root of the trouble.
