HP Pavilion Notebook P1A71UA#A
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a notebook running Windows 10. It runs an Insider build and has had problems for months. These include Cortana not working, universal apps not staying open, and other issues. I have talked to friends and we believe something is damaged. It doesn't appear to relate to a specific Insider build. Because of this, I was told that I need to format my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 10. I created a bootable USB drive, but I'm not sure how to get to the boot menu (I've accessed it before, but only when my PC showed a screen with recovery options on startup.) and how to navigate it to find the USB drive, as it seemed complicated and confusing. How do I change the boot sequence on my computer and boot the USB? Please help as soon as possible. I need this PC for college and other daily activities. Thanks.
