I attempted to re install Windows 10 because it was running slow, the reset failed and when I went to boot the system up it kept restarting at the first ASUS screen.
I have created a ISO by Downloading the Windows 10 off the Microsoft website. I mounted the ISO using Etcher on IMac.
Plugged the USB in and changed boot priority, it detected the USB flash drive but not the content.
My system is an ASUS X550L Intel core i5 8gb 1tb HDD original operating system Windows 8
If you don't mind, let's start over from scratch.

click the pointer and select Language > make sure you pick the same language the computer is now running > click Confirm

The iso will start downloading to your chosen folder.
When it is done, go to that folder > open the folder > right click at the iso file > clickMount > clickSetup.exe

No product key is required.

Hi, sorry I haven't been fully clear. My laptop is not able to boot, it just keeps restarting at the ASUS window when I turn it on. and the only computer I have access to is a IMAC that I can download the ISO
I apologize. I completely misunderstood your post.Hi, sorry I haven't been fully clear. My laptop is not able to boot, it just keeps restarting at the ASUS window when I turn it on. and the only computer I have access to is a IMAC that I can download the ISO
You can still use the Tech Bench link and download the iso > burn it to a bootable USB > then try it on your Asus.
If it does not work, please wait a bit for someone else to come along to help you.
Thank you.
Two things. First, make sure the USB flash drive is formatted for FAT32 before copying over the files from the mounted ISO file. Some computers won't boot from an NTFS flash drive. Second, if the ASUS requires flash drives to boot in legacy mode (instead of UEFI), then make sure the FAT32 partition on the USB flash drive is marked as active. Actually, just make the partition active to be sure - it won't affect UEFI booting if it is. Also, there should only be the one partition on the flash drive.
Hi, so I formatted the USB to FAT32, I can confirm it is single partition. How do I check it's an active partition? Can this be done from a Mac?
I have no idea on a Mac. I only know how to from Windows/Command Prompt. Have you tried booting the Asus from it again?
format the USB as Fat32
Mount the ISO
Copy the contents of the ISO to the USB
Boot the USB
