Aurora R5, installing Windows 10 via USB flash drive?

Hi,

I want to reinstall my OS for the first time, years after using the factory installed OS.

I take out the old OS drive, and put in a clean formated drive for the new OS. Dell sent me a Windows 10 USB stick with this computer, so I'll use that. But now the puzzle of getting everything working begins. After hitting F2, these are my boot options:

Hmm, no way of manually selecting USB flash drive, but lets restart and hit F12. I see this:

Okay, good - the usb flash drive is seen. I select it. Now when it boots up and get the blue screen language/location options, and then this:

Okay, select use a device, and then pick one of these.

Then it boots up to the blue screen options again, regardless if I hit the NIC IPV4 or IPV 6 options. I've even tried hitting the 'Exit and continue to Windows 10' option, and it will boot back to the blue screen again.

Do I need to change from UEFI to Legacy, and have Secure Boot Off? Need some help here.

Thanks!

It would be nice if I could edit my original post to fix the image links. I click on the three vertical dots and don't see the edit option anywhere.

Go to f12 one-time boot menu, not f2 boot menu. Then select usb.
