    Need Help Regarding Downloading Windows 10 via USB


    Hey guys. My old laptop has had its hard drive (HDD) broken for quite a while. This means that my laptop is not able to boot up and gives me errors. I am planning to buy a replacement hard drive. However, recently I have learned that the operating system is stored in said hard drive. This means that if I replace my hard drive, my current operating system will be gone.


    So, I have a few concerns. Using the Lenovo forums, I learned that there is a Microsoft tool that enables you to install Windows 10 on a USB. I have a few questions regarding this. I know the license number of the Windows 10 operating system installed on my current laptop. I am aware (I may be wrong) that when my laptop asks for a operating system and I plug the flash drive in, it will ask me for my license number. Can I reuse the old license number of the OS my laptop had? Or do I have to purchase a new license key?


    Responses would be greatly appreciated. If I am aware of something that is wrong, please correct me.

    :)

    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
