    3.0 port.

    My windows 10 says that "the device can run faster when plugging it into a USB 3.0"

    Even thought its already connected to a 3.0 port. is this just a bug or is this just my devices?

    mediacreationtool.exe output to a Hard Disk Drives - Windows 10 installation

    For the last 3 years I have only purchased USB 3.0 flash drives that present themselves as "Hard Disk Drives" to Windows 7 -
    not, "Devices with Removable Storage". I buy that type of flash drive because (as far as I know) USB 3.0 flash-drives that present themselves as HDDs are very much faster than USB 3.0 flash drives
    that present themselves to Windows 7 as "Devices with Removable Storage".

    In preparation for upgrading to Windows 10 I have noticed that mediacreationtool.exe for Windows 8.1 cannot see and therefore cannot create a USB-boot-flash-drive with any of my newer USB flash drives that present themselves as HDD. I've resorted to scrounging
    up some old USB 2.0 flash drives to examine how mediacreationtool.exe creates bootable USB flash drives.

    Has this flaw been corrected for the Windows 10 mediacreationtool.exe?

    curious why USB 3.0 runs 33% faster in windows 10 than in 7

    Hmmm, there is a 33% improvement in performance that didn't cost anything? It may be better drivers were available, better power management, etc.

    well i think i always had the recent intel drivers for this machine with 7. changing them never did much.

    so it is definitely different in 10. this is a toshiba with i7-4700MQ.
