Windows 10: Need help on windows 10 media creation tool! Won't allow me to select a usb!

After hours of tireless searching on the internet and watching hours of youtube videos with no help. I finally decided to ask the question myself. when I am download the media creation tool thingy it does ask me if it is for another computer or to update this one, I obviously choose the iso file thing it then tells me that I need 8 gb of space on my C: drive. I cannot get the little library menu that tells me to select a location for it even if I have 2 usbs connected. this has started to get extreamly frustrating I am on a hp stream 11 atm with roughly 4 gbs of free space


I might wanna add that ive tried this like 20 times and I started to notice the "needed space" on my c: drive has switched between, 6,8,12 and 16 I believe. yeah I don't know a whole lot about this so don't try to correct me I assume you know what I mean.

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Media Creation Tool


Microsoft hasn’t removed Windows 10 Threshold 2 completely from its servers but actually pulled the plug on the Media Creation Tool that allows users to download the official ISOs.

And yet, while the Media Creation Tool is no longer displayed on the Windows 10 download page, the links are up and running. This means that you can still download the Media Creation Tool and create a bootable USB stick with Windows 10 Threshold 2 just like before.
