    Does windows bootable media remove personal files?


    Hi there,2 days ago I tried to start my Asus laptop, and the computer entered in Windows Recovery Mode. The issue is that when I try to solve the problem using any of the methods available there, I need to insert the account's password, and when I do it, the system says the password is incorrect. I've then created an ISO Windows 10 Installation Media file on a pendrive, so I can reset the OS in order to manage to start it. My question is if I do this, I will be removing all my personal files from the computer, and if so, is there any way to perform this action and keep the files?Thanks

    :)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    new upgraded windows 10 - how to make a bootable USB?


    Just about every language on the planet was in the list I saw. The steps listed in the link mirror the ones posted by Microsoft on their support page for the process.

    Personally, I just used the Media Creation tool and it made the bootable Flash drive with 3gbytes of Win10 on it no problem.

    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!
