Windows 10: How to create a bootable win10 flash drive skipping installation on boot?

I tried creating a bootable flash drive with windows media creation kit and rufus, and when I try to boot from it everything works but when I get to the partitions it doesn't detect anything (enough though the installation itself is running off of the flash drive?)

I'm guessing it has something to do with UEFI, which sounds like a huge pain to figure out.

Is there a way for me to create a bootable win10 flash drive that will boot directly into windows, skipping the installation part? Basically the way you boot into windows AFTER you do the installation, is this possible?

Thank you.

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!

 

How do I create a bootable flash drive?

Hey, I am looking for assistance with creating a bootable flash drive out of my 1GB Nano. I could really use some help. I have an old Dell Inspiron 1100 with no CDROM drive. I've Googled and have only found a few leads but they're not very good.

I just want to do this low-level and dirty (if you will). The goal would be to place XP Pro (in order to install on the laptop) onto the drive along with Active@'s Password Recovery tool (both of which I have).

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Use MCT to create bootable Flash drive with previously downloaded ISO

Thank you,

I remember that in the "Microsoft way" for creating a bootable instalation media in Windows 8 there was included one more step:

After preparing the boot media with diskpart go to the source files (let's say d: are the source files and e: is you flash USB drive)

CD d:\boot
Bootsect /nt60 e:


After that you could copy the instalation files to the USB flash drive. Is this step not necessary anymore?
