    How do I get my SSD to be bootable?


    I recently upgraded windows installation to M.2 SATA SSD and everything was fine apart from missing audio drivers.After searching online for a solution I finally managed to update the audio drivers using Outbyte Driver Installer software.Upon further scanning, this software reported some more drivers as outdated, prompting me to update them all.This is when my problem began since after installing the driver updates and restarting my PC to effect the changes, the PC wouldn't boot at all.When powered on, it just flashes the boot logo for a couple seconds, the screen goes blank for a couple more

    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!
