Hi
I recently bought a hp omen 15-dc0019nq laptop was FreeDos, then I installed Linux mint. now I want to replace it with windows I do not have dvd / cd writter so I made a bootable usb and when booting it shows me the same error
reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key
i use Usb image writer in linux

Hi:
See if this works...
Have the installation media in a USB port.
Turn on the PC, and tap the ESC key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen to get the menu of options.
Select the F9, boot options menu, and from that select the legacy USB Diskette on Key/USB hard disk device, and press the Enter key.
Did you make the W10 installation media using the Media Creation tool at the link below?

So, it doesn't even show the USB flash drive as an option to boot from.
Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.
Since your notebook is brand new, and presumably under warranty, I recommend you contact HP technical support and submit a support case under the warranty.

There has to be a way to get W10 to install from the flash drive.
