Windows 10: 1909 Bootable - 2004 Not Bootable (USB)

Hey all, so I've been having some issues with my pc, it has been acting very strange, taking longer to load, at one point it said no bootable device detected and such in which I did a system restore and that sort of helped, sometimes I could load into my desktop, sometimes I couldn't, it was an array of issues. So I'm like okay, its time for a format, the last format I did was almost a year ago so it seemed just about right.

I downloaded the windows tool and made my usb a bootable usb device with the latest windows version....but it wouldn't load.

I'd get the notification to boot from usb, but the windows logo would appear for a second and then I'd get stuck on a blinking underscore, so I did some troubleshooting, did some research and discovered that my BIOS boot settings where incompatible, in which case i downloaded rufus and switched to MBR, but it still wasn't working, I tried multiple different solutions but it just wouldn't boot...then I had enough and tried downloading windows version 1909 and put that on the usb instead...and it worked.

I'm incredibly lost at this stage, is version 2004 just incompatible with my device? Granted it is a much older system.

Could someone please enlighten me. I did see there is a option to use the windows 7 tool to install version 2004 but I haven't tried that yet, is it even worth it at this point or does 2004 have some issues with it?

This has been a very stressful situation *Sad, someone hold me.

Thank you - I'm currently on version 1909

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 USB to ISO

He's not trying to make a bootable USB. He wants to restore the ISO from the bootable USB (the reverse operation).



What software are you trying to restore? You can get the Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River: http://social.technet.microsoft.com...c99-42db-80c8-6300f01f7aae/windows-7downloard
