HOW TO CREATE A WINDOWS 10 BOOTABLE USB DISC

HOW TO CREATE A BOOTABLE USB DISC:  Installing windows now days does not require sophisticated steps like it used to be during times of using CDs and DVDs.  And although many people in different parts of the World may still prefer using CDs and DVDs, the bootable flash method proves more efficient and reliable.  You can easily install a Windows package from your flash drive onto your new or old computer with less hassle.  But before you do that, you need to have the Windows software pack built on the flash drive, and then it will be called as "bootable USB drive".  In this discussion, I am going to show you how you can make yourself a bootable USB disc for installation of Windows 10, 8 or even 7.

Requirements:

1.  Windows disc image:  The windows 10 image file is the one that will be built onto the USB flash drive to make it bootable.  If you have the Windows 10 Installation files on a DVD, on the PC or any media and it is is not in ISO format, you can convert it to ISO format using some of the tools mentioned in the link below.  How to make Windows 10 ISO file for installation media creation

2.  A removable USB drive 6GB or larger:  Although for some other windows the ISO file may be a little less, the Windows 11 ISO file is a little more than 5 GB and therefore you will need a flash drive 6GB or more.

3.  PC running windows 10 or higher:  To create the bootable USB drive, you will need another PC running windows.

4.  PC onto which window will be installed

5.  Tool for marking the bootable USB drive:  You will also need a tool to do the work for you and although there are dozens of tools for that purpose, I recommend Rufus tool for simplicity

Steps:

1.  Extract and run the tool, rufus in that case

2.  Format your USB flash disk which is more than 6GB for the latest operating systems

3.  In the tool, make sure you allocate and select the source of the Windows ISO file

4.  As long as the Downloaded ISO file is not modified, leave the rest of the settings as they are and select next.

5.  The after the tool has finished, you can continue booting your PC from the flash drive to install windows.
