I'm trying to reinstall Windows 10 from usb as I actually uninstalled it. I've created media to the USB. Which key on the keyboard do I use to trigger the screen to start once I put the USB in the port?

After you plug the USB flash drive in the USB port, turn on the PC.

 

Immediately tap the ESC key to get the menu of options.

 

Select the F9 boot options menu and from that select the USB flash drive and press the Enter key.

 

The PC should boot from the W10 installation flash drive.
