Simply extracting the "BIOS", actually UEFI, zip file to a FAT32 formatted USB stick should make a bootable media.– ChanganAutoCommented May 18 at 15:58

Unless the two PC's are identical, then that is unlikely to succeed. During installation on the other PC, drivers it needs were installed, not the ones for the Aspire. Even if you get Windows to start booting, there will likely be issues.– DrMoishe PippikCommented May 19 at 2:00

@DrMoishePippik people always tell me that but I've done it many times. I've transferred laptop SSDs to desktops and booted to them without issue. I can still access, format, and partition the drive but can longer boot install Windows to the SSD on my second computer either. I believe there's a problem with the drive. I'll test against a second drive when it arrives.– tvancCommented May 19 at 23:00

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
