Bootable media
I have created a bootable USB drive as well as a CD. When I attempt to boot from either of these all I get is a black screen with the Windows 10 logo and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks

How long did you wait after you see the Windows logo? Some machines take a fair amount of time to load the application when booting the media. You may need to wait longer.

About a minute or two - I'll try again and wait longer - How much longer should I allow

I have never timed it but I can say that on my machines it takes about 3 minutes to load on average.

Thanks, yes I was being too impatient. It eventually booted to the ATI interface.
