How To Make Bootable USB Window 10.

To create a Windows 10 bootable USB, download the Media Creation Tool. Then run the tool and select Create installation for another PC. Finally, select USB flash drive and wait for the installer to finish. Connect a USB to your Windows 10 PC.

To create a bootable USB drive for Windows 10, you'll need a USB flash drive with at least 8GB of storage capacity and a Windows 10 ISO file. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

**Note: Creating a bootable USB drive will erase all data on the USB drive. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.**

1. **Download Windows 10 ISO**: Go to the official Microsoft website( https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10ISO )and download the Windows 10 ISO file.

2. **Prepare the USB drive**: Insert your USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer. Make sure there's no important data on the USB drive, as it will be formatted during the process.

3. **Create the bootable USB drive**:

   - **Using Windows built-in tool (Rufus)**:

     - Download Rufus from its official website (https://rufus.ie/en/) and run the application.

     - Rufus will automatically detect your USB drive. If not, select it from the drop-down menu.

     - Under "Boot selection," click on "Select" and choose the Windows 10 ISO file you downloaded earlier.

     - Ensure that the "Partition scheme" is set to "MBR" (for BIOS or UEFI-CSM).

     - Set the "File system" to "NTFS."

     - Give your bootable USB a name in the "Volume label" field (e.g., "Win10Boot").

     - Click on the "Start" button and confirm any prompts to begin the process. This will format your USB drive and make it bootable with Windows 10.

   - **Using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool** (Windows only):

     - Download the Media Creation Tool from the official Microsoft website (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10).

     - Run the tool and accept the license terms.

     - Choose "Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC" and click "Next."

     - Select your language, edition, and architecture preferences for Windows 10.

     - Choose "USB flash drive" when asked what media to use.

     - Select your USB drive from the list and click "Next."

     - The Media Creation Tool will now download the Windows 10 files and create a bootable USB drive.

4. **Set your computer to boot from the USB drive**:

   - Turn off your computer and insert the bootable USB drive.

   - Turn on the computer and enter the BIOS or UEFI settings. The key to access this depends on your computer's manufacturer (usually, it's the DEL, F2, F12, or Esc key).

   - In the BIOS or UEFI settings, look for the "Boot" or "Boot Order" section and set the USB drive as the first boot device. Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings.

5. **Install Windows 10**:

   - With the bootable USB drive inserted, restart your computer.

   - The Windows 10 installation should start automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows 10 on your computer.

Remember to activate Windows 10 with a valid product key once the installation is complete.
