I'm using a windows 10 ISO on a flash drive for install. Do I need to go into BIOS and change boot priority.

If the machine has a boot menu key at boot then no, just use it and select the usb media, if not then yes alter it to boot from the usb first

Well my system is F11, My partners is F8 so they vary. So look at your machines manual or just check at boot.

Mine has USB/HDD USB/FDD USB/CD so I'm assuming I use USB/HDD. Thanks for the help.
