Why can't I install Windows 10?

I am trying to install Windows 10 via USB. I have formatted the USB, however, it doesn’t show up as UEFI. I have looked through BIOS and can’t find any way to change it. Additionally, sometimes when I reboot BIOS, i’ll receive the “Reboot and select proper boot device” message. Any help?

How are you writing the USB stick? If you’re using the Media Creation Tool, it writes it with a preference for UEFI boot modes on compatible systems. With these systems, you often need to have it set to UEFI boot for it to show as a boot option. In addition, you’re committing to keeping it as a “UEFI” system once you reinstall since changing back isn’t going to happen without a reinstall.

If you want to have some flexibility, you’ll need to use Rufus.
