    The machine is an ASUS Z490 motherboard.

    I can now confirm the FAT32 partition is not necessary.  The difference here may the the GPT configuration of the USB drive.

    So, use at least a 16 GB flash drive, convert to GPT, create an NTFS partition and give it a drive letter then mount the .iso and copy over the files.

    As a note, my Public 19042.964 just got the N&I on the taskbar..

    The specs for UEFI indicate that FAT32 is needed for Booting, Your ASUS Z490 may still be one that boots also with NTFS, but that is not the case for many of the newer UEFI machines.

    The Z490 is one year old.. :)

    As further evidence showing MBR or GPT drive configuration can make a difference.  If you create a partition on a clean drive, the default choice is NTFS.  If you convert the drive to GPT first, the default choice is FAT32.

    I will wait for you to try it.  My system is set with Secure Boot enabled and the CSM disabled.

    I just tried it on an older (4 years) Dell laptop and it doesn't appear to recognize the USB drive as bootable.  I would expected that on the Z490 and was surprised when it worked..

    Maybe it is only the newer machines that can do it..

    I think it is the other way around, older machines still can have both UEFI and Legacy BIOS modes selectable, those are the ones that can boot from NTFS regardless of the mode they are set.

    The machines that are UEFI only can only boot from FAT32.
