WINDOWS USB BOOT

-

YOU CAN’T REALLY AVOID this step. Every PC setup requires a fresh OS install to get things going. To help with this, it’s handy to have another PC ready to download the required software on to a USB drive of at least 8GB storage capacity. Head over to Microsoft’s website and search for “Create Windows 10 installati­on media.” Download the file, open up the software, and you will see a screen that says: “Getting a few things ready.” After accepting the terms and conditions, wait again. It gives you the option to upgrade that PC now or create installati­on media for another PC after the second time. Click the second option and proceed. On the next screen, leave things as default, then you can choose which media to install Windows 10 on; click “USB flash drive” to find your drive, click “Next,” then it starts to download.
