Installing Windows 10 OS??

[springcanyon]

Greetings, I put together a new computer in a Fractal Design case. As far as I can tell I can't install an optical drive so I can run my windows 10 installation disk. So...I copied the disk info to a USB drive. I looks like the information is on the USB drive, but the computer doesn't see a boot system. I did select the USB port as the first boot drive. I would be grateful for any ideas. It doesn't seem reasonable that the case won't accept an optical drive; maybe I just don't see how to do it.

Thanks,
Don Owens

Use this tool to create the bootable usb. Most likely what you did didn't make it bootable. You can't just copy from cd to usb.

Download the tool and then start it and follow the prompts to create the bootable usb.

Many cases these days do not have optical drive bays, they are a dead media and many people have already transitioned away from them.

Download the Windows 10 ISO direct off the Microsoft site, install to formatted USB flash drive and it will install from there
