Proxmox doesn't / can't lock what to both the system with/as, at MOST it will set that it should first boot proxmox.

How old is that Windows 10 USB-Stick and how did you make it? Because if you can't see the USB, and you have tried different USB-Ports and also rebooting the system while it is already plugged in (so not plugging it in after it is already starting up), then it might be that the USB itself is not set up correctly.

The preferred/recommended method is to use the Windows own tool for it [1], which will completely wipe and properly configure the USB-Stick, ready for booting on a system, but you of course need to have a Windows system in the first place to run that.

The USB Stick works because I have already tried It on another PC. The problem could be the port, because I tried to turn on the PC with the USB Stick already plugged in and It still wouldnt work. The only strange thing Is the fact that in BIOS i can't select USB boot Stick. I Will try to use the USB Stick connected to another Port and than update you guys on the results. Thanks to you all.
