How do I make Rescue usb?

Hello,

I have another computer infected. I am unable to connect to internet. I am unable to press F8 because I had a bad keyboard and replaced it with wireless keyboard and mouse but can not do f8 to run safe mode with networking so unable to update or install anything. Have bitdefender total security 2020 active but need to clean that computer before connecting to internet so I can update and run Bitdefender. I need help!

Thank you!
