Windows 10: Counterfeit Windows 10 USB

I have just purchased Windows 10 Home from amazon. I was a little skeptical because as soon as I ordered it I started receiving password phishing emails from amazon.in and the seller is in india.


The product looks perfect in every way except the hologram that is supposed to be embedded in the blue plastic of the usb was a stuck on label and not actually part of the usb. That makes this a counterfeit product correct?


Even with all this in mind fake product and phishing emails after contact amazons response has been to message the seller and the sellers response is so you want to send it back for a refund essentially sending the evidence back to the person responsible for running the scam with no questions asked or followup.


I mean is it just me or should this be looked into further? amazon are supposed to be an authorized dealership? I mean obviously this is worst case scenario but what if they are changing things with the install as well. They could essential be installing anything they want through this and nothing would ever pick it up because it would be installed with the operating system.


what do I do in this situation? when i called Microsoft they told me just to go deal with the person i brought it from.

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

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!
