Windows 10: create a flash drive for windows 10 with .wim format

I have watched so many videos and tutorials.

For some reason I am not understanding how to do this.

Do I start by downloading the MCT to my flash drive?

Could you please not give me links but instead step by step show me how to accomplish this task?

Thank you.

How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

good luck!

 

Flash Drive format for creating a Recovery Drive?

Hello,

I don't think you have to worry about FAT32 or NTFS. If you insert a USB flash drive and create a recovery drive, Windows 10 should format the USB flash drive for what you needed. Windows 10 should format automatic.

 

Flash Drive format for creating a Recovery Drive?

Just created a Flash USB Recovery Drive which looks OK. The Dell instructions said to format the flash drive to NTFS format yet further reading on Microsoft sites say to use FAT32 format when creating the drive.

On checking the contents of the newly created Flash Recovery Drive it is FAT32 format. I'm confused as to why Dell tells me to format to NTFS and the final drive is FAT32. Can anyone throw light on this please? I'm concerned the drive may not work if I need
to use it. Thank you.
