    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!

    Difference between bootable USB from media creation tool vs ISO file

    I have seen guides online for creating a bootable USB drive for Windows 10 from an ISO file, e.g. by using Rufus, or just dragging the relevant files onto the USB (like here: [https://www.zdnet.com/article/windo...o-file-to-create-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive/))

    The question is: what is the difference, if any, between a bootable USB drive created via these methods versus a bootable USB drive created through Microsoft's media creation tool?

    Is there a heirarchy of these methods in terms of reliability? Which method for creating the bootable USB drive, besides using the media creation tool, is most reliable? Which methods, besides the media creation tool, are endorsed/advised by Microsoft?

    Unable to create Windows 10 bootable media using media creation tool

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern, as you are trying to create a Windows 10 USB bootable media for your new computer and we appreciate you for providing us the information and the screenshot. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly,
    please reply with the answers to the questions below.



    • What is the free space on the USB?
    • Are you trying to perform a clean installation or an upgrade on the new computer?


    However, we would suggest you to refer the steps point by point as mentioned under
    “Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC”,
    in this website:
    Download Windows 10
    and check if you are able to create the bootable media.



    We await your response.
