    How to finish Windows 10 usb installation


    Greetings to the reader, I first apologize if this is not the appropriate site to ask this question. I am out of ideas currently since browsing the web did not help me.

    I am currently trying to finish the steps to create a bootable USB flash drive so I can repair my main laptop that ceased working on the nineteenth. I first received a critical_process_died error code, then the laptop now only go to BIOS after powering on. I did enable "Launch CSM" to see if that could help, but I see "The boot configuration data for your pc is missing or contains errors." with the error code 0xc000000f and the File: boot\bcd

    I was told by Microsoft to create a Windows 10 flash drive, but my computer I am using is my old Acer Extensa laptop which has Windows Vista.

    I chose to try and I have finished splitting the install.wim file using this tutorial here but I can not download the Windows 10 ADK to use the Development Tools and Preinstallation Tools. The Installation Window warned that the installation is not supported by my version. Before my main laptop desist functioning, the Windows version was 1909 if I remember correctly. I do not have many options currently as I do not have transportation to find another computer with Windows 8 or 10. Is finishing the boot installation to the flash drive with Windows Vista possible? I am grateful for any advice.

  2. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
