the only difference in newer versions of Windows is that you have to turn off "Fast Boot". this feature in new windows versions is preventing booting from anything else including USB if i am not mistaken. use google for more information, i don't use Windows 10 or 8!

also i suggest using UUI https://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ it is the best and easiest tool for creating any linux distro live USB under windows. although i can not find BitKey among the list of supported distros, you may have to play around a little bit to make it work.
use the last option saying "Try Unlisted Linux ISO".

Thanks for the info, I noticed the issue with the Fast Boot but completely forgot to turn it off and instead took the long way around it though the Bitkey USB Bootup never popped up oddly enough. I'll have to give your other suggestion a shot, thanks again!
