If it isn't booting from the flash drive maybe it isn't properly prepared. Try redoing it or using another flash drive.
Make an installation usb using the free Media Creation Tool. At least an 8gb flash drive required. Click "Download tool now"- and Run it. Select Create installation media for another PC.

Immediately after powering on start tapping the Esc key to open Start-up menu. From there tap F9 key to choose to boot from USB.
IF that does not offer USB hard drive as boot device- you may have to disable Secure boot/enable Legacy boot in BIOS.
