HP x360 and Windows media creation tool

[JuanMaddox]

I need to reinstall windows from a usb on my laptop. I have a USB with windows on it, but whenever I try to use it, it never works. I have done it from the automatic repair loop menu's "use a usb" option, and my boot up in BIOS is set to usb first (it's the non-legacy option).

I'm not sure why it's not working and would welcome any and all help.

Regarding the USB, I have tried both the windows usb version and then the "for burning on a disc" and it doesnt seem to work. I dont know if the issue is with the usb or the computer

Hi
First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.

Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.

Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat; Re-Connect the AC adapter.

NOW begin checking/testing/proving the Hardware is fit for purpose.
Power on your PC, press ESC (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).

Does the directory on the USB resemble this?
