I just put together a custom-built tower a few days ago with a friend of mine and got everything working all the way into boot and now all I have to do is install windows onto one of my NVME drives on it and then install the other NVME drive onto the mobo and create a partition on another for Manjaro (an attempt at dualbooting, basically), but I have been unable to get Windows installed because every time I try, either the USB goes undetected or it shows up a terminal-like screen on the monitor (black screen with blinking underscore).
I am running an ASUS motherboard on the custom built and have tried setting the boot priority to both UEFI and non-UEFI drive options given by the USB and setting secure boot to “Other OS” and something called Windows UEFI (or similar, can’t remember the exact name). With every given possible combination given those parameters and even made sure that both the UEFI and non-UEFI drive options were at boot option 1 and 2 throughout.
I am trying to install this without being forced to use secure boot every time though, since from what I understand there is some kind of bug or feature from Windows that prevents users from booting into a Linux distro on the same system (but I could be wrong).
I was using KDE plasma to flash the USB before trying to install it onto the custom built using this method:
