your laptop is so ancient, so make sure you selected MBR in rufus. Also, i heard some models of Sandisk flash-drives does not support bootable USB. If non of them works, try to install the regular windows 10 home 32bit iso just to make sure your laptop supports windows 10 in the first place. good luck
First you choose a architecture x64 x86 Then you choose a language [..] Czech Danish Dutch English Estonian Finnish French [..] Then you choose a media DVD Then you click download Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 (x64) - DVD (English-United Kingdom) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 (x64) - DVD (English) Then you click on one of the two options. There are no other. I think it's more confusing for people if they see see two similar "en_" around and don't know the difference. Edit: I misunderstood you, I removed "uk".
a USB key is virtually always bootable by design the OS you load on it may be unbootable AFAIK regards
try installing version 14393 i dont think your box can go any further than this version HW is to old.
Windows 10 (consumer editions), version 1809 (Updated Nov 2018) (x64) - DVD (English) Released: 13-11-2018 SHA1: BEE211937F3ED11606590B541B2F5B97237AC09D File name: en_windows_10_consumer_edition_version_1809_updated_sept_2018_x64_dvd_491ea967.iso Size: 4.72 GB 4.72>4.37 GB DVD
Those links come from techbench, on techbench are only consumer iso's available. Here you can download the business iso's: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-10-svf-repository.63324/page-139#post-1483713
Common.. dual-layer dvd's with ~8.5GB have been around for ages, and most burners you can buy or come with a device are dual-layer compatible. In that regard it's even better than a usb key as it is guaranteed to boot (it's udf, not fat/ntfs) Can also get any version (except ltsc) via MediaCreationTool if doing it manually with tools is not your thing and it will also be a far smaller download if bandwidth is an issue.
I didn´t saw this post before. One very important detail you omited is, the notebook boots? I mean, it shows the POST then it tries to boot from the USB and THEN it fades to black, or it directly hangs? We have several ancient PCs models that CANT boot from USB3.0 Pendrives/External HDDs and hangs during POST, in that cases we use an USB2.0 Pendrive.
Even though I have USB 3.0 ports (& 2.0) I have had much more success booting from a USB 2.0 port, no matter if the USB drive is a 3.0 or 2.0.
First, what really supports some booting method is the motherboard, and almost every USB device that can be partitioned should be possible to be used. All Windows ISOs can be made USB booteable since W7 I think (didn't remember if VISTA can be too, but I guess it can). To be absolutely certain if the problem is an incorrect configuration, you need to know if you are in a BIOS or UEFI scenario. For UEFI, you need to know also if you are in real EFI or CSM and if you have "Secure Boot" enabled. For BIOS you don't need as much motherboard information, but to be able to debug your problem you need to know the differences between GPT, MBR, PBR, and partition flags like ID, ACTIVE, HIDE, etc. So, in a BIOS scenario what you need is a MBR+PBR(BOOTMGR)+ACTIVE flag combo, and you can use FAT32 or NTFS as file system format. Most utilities should do all this steps for you automatically, if you choose the right scenario. I think It's a little bit complex to really answer your question, as you can see.
