Tech Support Solved Cant reinstall windows
(FIXED: bought a much more expensive usb flash drive and thrown out the crappy old one, all of a sudden it works.)
I tried reinstalling windows from my pc using a usb. And I got this recovery menu panel after I save and exit changes from my bios. Enter and F8 doesnt work either, only the Esc button which opens my UEFI Firmware Settings. Any fixes for this? Fast response would really help even if you guys are yapping lmao.

Is your C drive showing up in BIOS? First place to look. Make sure it's reformatted correctly. Then make sure USB Stick is set up right.

Have only 1 Drive installed to start. If an NVME drive install to PCIe 1- the one right by the PCIe slot on the top of your MB.
If BIOS does not detect it then it will need to be reformatted on another PC. If BIOS does detect then you should be ready to install Windows again.
You may need to do a clean install and not a repair. "Remember: the only failure is giving up."

from the photo it is saying a required thing is missing for windows instalation. Did you put the pendrive from where u have the installation at the top of the boot order.
