  1. Additional Folders/Tools W/ Bootable USB


    Hi all,
    Just wondering if putting additional files/folders in my bootable USB installer will cause any issues with the installer.
    Example:

    Additional Folders/Tools W/ Bootable USB [​IMG]


    If I make another folder called "Other" and place other files/programs/docs in the folder will it make any difference to the installer itself or will it just kinda ignore it like I want?

    Just want to be sure before I spend time organizing flash drives and tools on other drives that I may not need to use lol

    Thanks,
    Michael

    :)

    Creating a bootable flashdrive

    Check your Downloads folder for the Windows 10 ISO . . . The Steps for creating the Bootable Flash Drive are: Download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can Select Create Installation Media for Another PC Choose USB rather
    than ISO The Most reliable option however is to chose to download the ISO and use Windows USB/DVD Download Tool to create the bootable Flash Drive - I have found this to be completely reliable . . . Click this link to get that tool: CodePlex Archive

    More thorough instructions found here.

    PassMark MemTest86 - Memory Diagnostic Tool - Technical Information

    Courtesy of above.

    "Create a bootable USB Flash drive:"

    • "Download the Windows MemTest86 USB image.
    • Right click on the downloaded file and select the "Extract to Here" option. This places the USB image and imaging tool into the current folder.
    • Run the included image USB tool, it should already have the image file selected and you just need to choose which connected USB drive to turn into a bootable drive. Note that this will erase all data on the drive."

    Additional Folders/Tools W/ Bootable USB

    I did the USB and chose Both, works fine, gives both the x86 and x64 versions. The download will erase anything on the drive first. After getting it I added the Offline update installer to get the .11 version. Using the Setup.exe file on my USB drive worked fine to update 10240 to 10586.0 on my Dell Venue 8 and it ignored the added files so I would assume the same for your Folders. I didn't try booting to the USB drive so can't speak to whether it will or not. The setup.exe file chose the correct version to install without asking whether 32-bit or 64-bit.

  5. Thanks for the Info, I'll wait until a few more chime in. Perhaps someone has done what I'm speaking about before.

    After looking at the USB drive again I see the .11 updates x86 and x64 are actually in Folders on the drive, names start with "Cumulative update".

  7. No, it won't make a difference, as long as you don't mess with the existing structure. I created a 16 GB flash drive and put two additional folders, Drivers and Software, and didn't encounter any issues. I've been doing this since Windows 7.

    Additional Folders/Tools W/ Bootable USB

    As said the answer is NO, it will not affect the installer in any way - by adding user folders..
    Do it all the time..
