    Attemp to write a Windows 10 ISO on an empty 16gb USB Drive


    Tried to Download Windows 10 ISO to reload Windows. The size of the ISO is ~ 5gb. Using an empty 16gb USB, Three times Windows say "TOO LARGE for destination file system. The USB is a FAT32. Finally, downloaded to my root HD and yes, the ISO's are ~ 5gb. But Windows still refuses to COPY this file to the 16gb USB.

    Anyone know why? Should I try to define the USB as NTFS?

    :)

    FAT32 file size limit: 4 GB
    You can't just copy the ISO file to a USB anyways because it won't boot that way.
    You can use a program like Rufus to make a bootable Windows 10 installation USB

    Create a Windows 10 USB Bootable Flash Drive (Updated)
    Create a Windows 10 USB Bootable Flash Drive (Updated)

    If you already have a Windows computer that is doing this the hard way. The easiest way is to go to the "Download Windows 10" site and get the Media Creation Tool. You can use it make the Windows 10 USB drive for you.

    That suggestion was in case if the OP wanted to put a copy of the ISO on a USB to transfer it to another machine, not as a way to make a bootable usb.
