Windows 10: Cannot reinstall Windows 10 from bootable USB on an UEFI laptop

I recently changed my hard-disk and need to reinstall Windows 10. I have downloaded the Windows 10 ISO using the Media Creation Tool and using Rufus, made a bootable USB from it. But unfortunately, the system is not booting from it.

I am using a 16gb pendrive. In Rufus, I had selected GPT partition scheme and format option as NTFS. I don't know if choosing NTFS as the format type is causing the problem. My laptop is a UEFI based system and I have read some content on the internet that UEFI doesn't support NTFS for booting, but don't know if it's correct information. Should I resort to Fat32? Could anyone please help me out?

Multi-bootable USB

Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
3. MemTest86+

Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

 

Install Windows 10 using UEFI bootable USB thumb drive

You need to go into you system bios and select allow uefi usb drive. Then add the UEFI usb drive to the boot menu

better way to partition aand create an bootable usb.

For the UEFI system, we can use these steps to create the bootable USB:

1.Locate a 4GB or larger USB flash drive

2.Open Diskpart and run the following command cmd admin type diskpart

• Type DiskPart in the command prompt.
• Type "List Disk” (make note of the disk number of the target USB drive).
• Type "Select Disk X”, where X is the target USB drive noted in step 4.
• Type "Clean”.
• Type "Create Partition Primary”.
• Type "format FS=fat32 quick”.
• Type "Active”.
• Type "Assign".
• Type "Exit".

Copy your ISO files to the drive and reboot

never use UEFI it better to repartition and remove UEFI go with legacy bois

 

Multi-bootable USB

Hey thanks solaris. I just used E2B on my USB stick and placed a Win 10 ISO inside the folder. But i could not get it to boot on my brother's PC who is running a Gigabyte GA-Z77-UP7 that has a UEFI bios setting. I've set to boot from both Legacy and UEFI boot roms but it just won't show Am i doing it wrong? The list of bootable devices does not show any USB HDD, only the lists of hard disk and SSD.

Would gladly need your help in some senization @Solaris17
