I'm trying to install Windows using a USB drive that I prepared with the Media Creation Tool. I've plugged it into my computer and it's recognized in the BIOS, but after booting from it, I'm stuck on the loading screen for over an hour. Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

It sounds frustrating! Try turning off your computer and unplugging it for a few minutes, then give it another shot. If that doesn't work, reset your BIOS to default settings—sometimes that can do the trick.
Honestly, if it's taking more than five minutes to boot, I'd say there's a problem. Maybe try a different USB drive if you have one available. If it’s not booting quickly, powering it off is probably your best bet.
If you manage to get into the installer but it still doesn’t progress, the issue might be with the Windows installation itself. Which version are you trying to install? Also, are you installing onto a blank drive?
