Another method for how to make windows bootable USB


There is an alternative to Media Creation Tool. This method requires using a USB drive that’s 4GB or 8GB in size. You can then copy the ISO file (containing Windows 10 installation files) to this USB drive and use your computer’s DVD/CD-ROM reader to burn it onto a disc.

Once you have burned the disc, insert this into your computer’s DVD/CD-ROM slot and start up your computer. You will be prompted to begin the installation process. This method is much faster than the other, and it’s much easier to follow.

Here is the step to follow –

Step 1: Insert the USB drive and turn off your computer

Step 2: Now, in the newly created EFI boot loader (boot), select ISO -> Burn an Image from this file. “Next” should pop up automatically after you have selected it

Step 3: Finally, follow these instructions: Press R to enter recovery mode. Select Disk Management as shown below – Ignore warnings about using a device that has been used for burning before or is not reflective of your computer’s actual capabilities.

Now you are ready to restart. You can now boot into Windows 10 using that USB drive as an installation media for your running system.
