Hi, Since you will be on the Windows side, I would pull up the run dialog box with the Windows and R. I'm just guessing that the thumb drive will be in disk E. So, type "E:\" and press B for bootcamp and press enter. Press S for setup. This should work if you opened the right drive that the thumb drive is on.
