    Installing Windows 10 to a new built computer through Media Creation Tool USB


    I just built a computer. I created a bootable USB (14GB, and I formatted it to NTFS beforehand) with the media creation tool. I plugged it in to the back of the new computer and powered it up, but the circles get stuck after a few spins.


    I tried:

    -Keeping the USB to FAT32 before using the media creation tool.

    -Taking off all other usb devices.

    -Directly booting to the usb through the BIOS

    -Changing the RAM positions.


    none of them worked.

    :)

  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

    New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

    If downloading a 3,5 GB file isn’t a problem then try Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, it’ll download Windows 10 image and setup installation files on USB stick.

  4. Installing Windows 10 to a new built computer through Media Creation Tool USB

    How to create an UNACTIVATED Windows 10 installation USB flash drive using the new Media Creation Tool v1803??

    I want to note also that the Media Creation Tool didn't give me the option to select the Edition of Windows 10 at the step you can choose the Language, Edition and Architecture. The only thing that was in the list was only the "Windows 10" option, not other
    editions...

    So, is this a BUG of Media Creation Tool or I have misunderstood something? Is this reasonable?

    Also is it reasonable when you install Windows (by USB Flsah drive created with Media Creation Tool) to be activated on its own after installation finishes??
