    How to install win10 with bootable USB WITHOUT switch off secure boot?


    I got an used Lenovo T480, I reinstalled it with a Linux distro when I got it.

    Now I need to go back to windows, the problem is I dont have the superuser password and because of that i Cant switch of Secure Boot. the seller had no idea about the password either..

    Windows can only boot Fat32 in secure boot, not NTFS , atleast not my computer and modern win10 ISO files are larger then 4 gb wich seems to be the limit for FAT32.

    Is there anyway to get windows back on this laptop?

    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!

    Bootable Vista Installer

    I have a friend who has a Vista Home Premium key (from the bottom of his laptop) and his HDD crapped out so he ordered a new one. His repair disks didn't work and neither of us have CD's with a large enough capacity to store the files we 'found' on the interwebz, so I'm trying to install it from a bootable USB.

    I got up to the step where I successfully turned the USB into an active partition, but I ran into a problem the moment I needed to access the boot sector.

    Can someone kindly walk me through the steps?

    How to install win10 with bootable USB WITHOUT switch off secure boot?

    HELP PLEASE!!!! Trouble installing windows from USB on ASUS P9X79

    You have to select the option in the bios to boot from the USB drive. Did you take the steps to make the USB drive bootable?
