Windows 10: Create a boot image file from a Bootable USB Windows 10 install

John,

As a different slant on this & in the hope of being helpful -

You can create a bootable ISO using the Media creation tool [from which you would create a bootable installation USB if you needed one].

Any existing installation USB you have will be at whatever Windows 10 version it was made from but by getting a new version of the Media creation tool as new Windows 10 versions are released, you can create new installation USBs at the latest version and you can use them for clean installations, updates & 'repair installs' / 'in-place upgrades'.

As long as Settings, Updates & security, Activation shows that you are activated with a digital licence & that you always make sure you are installing the same Edition [Home / Pro], you can reinstall to your heart's content and will be re-activated when you next go online without any action being needed on your part.

Error code 0xc0000428 after installing Windows udates on Windows 10.

Error 0xC0000428

Windows cannot verify the digital signature for INSTALL.wim of the Windows 10 image. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.

download the Windows 10 ISO file and install it from the bootable media. See

Hi Ibrahim,

We would suggest you to create a bootable disc or usb and then try to boot from the disc and then install windows.

To create a bootable USB/DVD refer to the below link, using this you can download ISO file for Windows 10:

Download Windows 10

Boot from the bootable media and then install Windows, this will remove all the applications installed on the pc and your data will be saved in Windows.old.

Hope this information helps.

 

I do not follow what you mean. The iso is just a container like a zip file containing all the boot files. What are you trying to do?
