    created USB flash drive from W media creator, but can't boot from it

    maybe I misunderstood the purpose / function of a bootable windows 10 USB pen....created one by using windows media creator, but although I can boot from it....it only offers INStALL or repair options, had hoped I could fully boot into windows 10 from this pen. so suspect that is not the case.....

    thanks

    :)

    How can I run the ISO Boot Files on my non-functioning Laptop?

    Go into your BIOS and set your DVD Drive as the First boot device, reboot with the DVD in the drive and Windows should start installing.

    If this does not work, download 'windows7 usb/dvd tool' and use it to create installation media on a USB Flash Drive (4GB min) from the ISO, then change the boot order so as to boot from USB Media in your BIOS.

    I Hope this Helps!

    that is windows 10 setup media
    not windows to go media..

    so you can only install windows from that media - not run windows

    thank you that is clear now....it's the 2go USB pen an official MS provision or a home brew arrangement ...
    also are the repair facilities in the setup media better than in previous windows incarnations ? I see you can also go back to a previous restore point, could be handy also
    thanks
