do you want to know how to install win 10 on a SSD off the USB?

You have win 10 a flash drive now? Has PC got or had win 10 on it before? Do you have a key if PC is new? If you have another drive in PC< it helps to remove it from power before installing win 10 on a new drive.

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)
