boot - Installing Windows 10 onto an old PC

I'm trying to upgrade an XP machine to Windows 10, but I cannot get it to boot from DVD or USB flash drive. I formatted the old HDD, and, with Windows 10 in, I just keep getting a "cannot boot from DVD" error 5, but when I put an XP disc in, it has no problem installing XP again.
With the USB, I get to "Searching for boot record from USB RMD-FDD..OK", and then it just stops there.


I followed the MS instructions to do both DVD and USB versions.
How can I determine what is going wrong, and fix it?
