boot usb windows usb-drive iso
1. Did you check that the iso file was downloaded correctly? 2. Try with mkusb according to this link, How can I create a Windows bootable USB stick using Ubuntu?.

I've tried all of those steps and my problem is fixed. When booting into the setup for w10, it asks me to 'select proper boot device and retry' or something along those lines. I've tried it in every slot in my BIOS I can, quite obviously rebooting, making sure I've got all necessary files for the setup, nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sorry, I don't understand. You write that your problem is fixed, and then that nothing seems to work. Please explain with more details, what you have done, what worked and what does not work.

My previous problem is fixed, but I ran into a new problem. The problem with the exit code 256 with woeusb but when actually trying to boot into the windows 10 setup from the usb, im having this issue: When booting into the setup for w10, it asks me to 'select proper boot device and retry' or something along those lines.

You should try to find out if the USB boot drive is bad or if you have not yet been able to make the computer boot from USB: 1. Please try in your computer with another USB boot drive, for example with Ubuntu; 2. and try with the Windows install drive in another computer (that might be easier to boot from USB).
