    Problem installing windows via a usb made with the windows media creation tool


    Howdy, windows wasn't updating for some reason so I decided to make a disk out of one of my USBs with a more up to date version. however when I use the USB the boot logo shows up for a second and then the logo glitches out and then my computer reboots. funny thing is the USB i made works on my laptop just fine. also I have an older Windosw USB i got from best buy that also works but that has an older version of windows. I have no idea whats up

    :)

    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.

    Resetting PC problem via windows and media creation tool

    Maybe its something about how you made the USB. To make a USB that will be certain to be bootable, download the Media Creation Tool and follow the steps in Option One of this tutorial.

    Download Windows 10 ISO File

    at step 6, leave the 'Use the recommended options for this PC' box checked.
    at step 8, select 'USB flash drive'.
