Starting memtest86 from USB/boot

I need to run memtest86 because my ram is going bad and I want to pinpoint which one it is. I don't know how to change from legacy to UEFI, (which is apparently necessary and I've no idea of the easiest way to do it.) and when I tried following directions to use diskpart I ended up being told "Cannot find OS Partition(s) for disk 0". I know that my OS is on disk "1" but I don't know what to do from here. If It's checking specifically disk "0" Do I need to switch the partition disk labels? Would it be easier to just unplug my storage drive for now? Any help is appreciated.

If you cannot find out how to switch to UEFI booting or your PC simply does not support it, the download page is pretty clear:

MemTest86 V9 images support only UEFI boot. On machines that don't support UEFI, MemTest86 will not boot. Please download the older V4 BIOS release of MemTest86 instead.

(Emphasis mine)

So scroll down to “Older Versions” and get a compatible version from there.

Use this site

Memtest86.exe

Go down to the Features section and make a bootable USB Key.

Do not change your PC setup (you may need to disable Secure Boot in BIOS)

Do not try to run Memtest86 from the operating system.
