  1. Clean install with USB created by Media Creation Tool


    I use the Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB. When Ive clean installed Ive always waited until the installation has completely finished and Im at the Windows desktop. Only then do I remove the Windows 10 USB flash drive. The USB flash drive stays inserted until then. Ive never had any issues at all with this method?
    Ive been following a recent thread where clean installing with a USB flash drive is mentioned.
    Why are people discussing having to remove the USB flash drive before a reboot during a clean installation and when exactly do they remove it? If I did that Id be concerned that it might be possible to corrupt the flash drive. I always use the safely remove hardware option in Windows before I remove a flash drive.

    :)

    Will Media Creation Tool Create A USB Installer With Version 1511?


    Yes, from which you can use USB media to clean install or upgrade
     
  3. How to create an UNACTIVATED Windows 10 installation USB flash drive using the new Media Creation Tool v1803??

    I want to note also that the Media Creation Tool didn't give me the option to select the Edition of Windows 10 at the step you can choose the Language, Edition and Architecture. The only thing that was in the list was only the "Windows 10" option, not other
    editions...

    So, is this a BUG of Media Creation Tool or I have misunderstood something? Is this reasonable?

    Also is it reasonable when you install Windows (by USB Flsah drive created with Media Creation Tool) to be activated on its own after installation finishes??

    Creating Installation Media - USB

    Hi,

    I have installed Windows 10 via the media creation tool using usb.

    After install I did a clean install via reset.

    All is good now, running very good.

    Question

    Is the usb I created via media creation tool a installation media drive?

    Do I have to create a installation media drive now?

    Any help appreciated.
