    Mct usb


    I have a USB 64 GB (my first one of this size) with the 20H1 ISO using the MCT. Can I still use it as storage and still be able to boot from it. All my other USB drives are 8 gb or less. So no big deal for an "only" single use USB drive.

    :)

    Bootable USB

    bought a new usb, formatted it. used MCT, did not go the DVD route since new computer does not have one. USB on damaged unit does not show up as UEFI nor does it do anything. I had listed the files in a previous post that are burned to the USB, is there
    some further step that must be taken within the USB to prepare it for opening by the damaged unit?

    As it happens, last week I made a Win 8.1 install USB by copying the files from a DVD that itself had been burned from an ISO made by the Win 8 MCT. I didn't use the Bootsect command and that boots fine on my legacy bios systems.

    Apparently...

    ...so the fact that my USB booted without being updated suggests it's a redundant opperation.

    I don't have a uefi system to test my USB on, perhaps @NavyLCDR could comment on that?
