Nowadays, I am trying to update my desktop computer, which uses Windows 10 Pro 32-bit version, to Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (By the way, the desktop is eligible for such an operation.). For that goal, I've created a bootable USB stick from Microsoft's official site.
In order to start the conversion process, I plugged the USB flash drive on the desktop and accessed the BIOS interface so that the proper booting device could be selected amongst the others (mainly HDDs) in the priority table. However, the USB stick didn't show up in the table.
Afterwards, I searched possible solutions for the problem on the internet all of which haven't worked so far. Those solutions and what happened after trying them out is listed below:
Changing the first boot device option on the BIOS as either USB-FDD or USB-HDD. Although I tried both ways, it didn't work. Additionally, I changed the second and third options too but the result was the same.
Using a USB stick with USB 2.0 port instead of the 3.0 version. This cannot make difference (And, it didn't.) as in order to test whether the problem was arising from the fact that the USB flash drive has a USB 3.0 port, I plugged another peripheral which was a WD portable HDD with a 3.0 port and it was detected on the priority list.
Changing the BIOS setting from the UEFI to the legacy BIOS. My desktop has already been using the legacy BIOS.
Uploading the boot files from Rufus instead of the official Microsoft website. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with the boot documentation inside the flash drive as when I plugged that USB flash drive on my laptop, which uses the legacy BIOS and USB 2.0 ports, the USB stick appeared on the priority list.
According to the results above, apparently, the problem is about my desktop computer. So, what is the problem and how can I sort it out?
