do you guys know what key it is to boot from usb on my mobo to install windows when I need to?


You enter bios at splash screen with delete or f2 generally
Then navigate to boot menu usually in the boot tab.
Select the usb drive (can note which drives are which based on total size).
then f10 to save and exit, once rebooted you will be prompted to the installation.
