I want to thank whiggs2 for helping me here now that I forgot to press the boot menu button i can say that my usb is recognized
and this forums look very nice indeed I may want to stick around here more **disclaimer I am not that noob dunno why I couldnt figure this out myself like Ive done this so many times**
For future reference, rufus has proven to be one of the worst methods to make a plain, Windows 10 bootable USB flash drive because of it's overly complicated and completely unneeded settings (which the OP and many, many others have gotten wrong), and it definitely is not the only way to create bootable UEFI bootable USB flash drives.
The easiest method to create a USB flash drive that will boot in both Legacy BIOS and UEFI is just to let the Microsoft provided Media Creation Tool create it.
If you already have the ISO file saved, you don't need any third party programs at all. Insert the USB flash drive with Windows running. Open a Command Prompt (Admin) or Powershell (Admin) and run the following commands:
diskpart
list disk
select disk # <- replace # with the actual disk number of the USB flash drive
clean <- this will erase the disk selected above, make sure it is the USB flash drive!
format fs=fat32 quick
active
assign
exit
exit
Then mount the ISO file, in Windows 8/8.1/10 right click and select mount. Then copy all the files and folders from the mounted ISO file to the USB flash drive.
That's it. You have a flash drive bootable in both Legacy BIOS and UEFI - and that is basically exactly the same way the Media Creation Tool creates it.
+1 for the MCT method, has always worked for me both Bootable USB and downloaded .iso file to create the DVD.
