  1. Single Bootable USB for Multiple PC's


    Hi,


    I own multiple laptops having windows 10 preinstalled. All have Windows 10-Home


    If I create a bootable media using windows creation tool on one laptop, can I use that USB stick to boot-up other laptop when needed?

    If yes, then will I be needing the windows 10 license information of all different PC's? How to access this?


    or, Do I have to create separate USB's for different computers ?


    Sorry for nested questions, wanted to resolve this once and for all.


    Thanks.

    :)

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey thanks solaris. I just used E2B on my USB stick and placed a Win 10 ISO inside the folder. But i could not get it to boot on my brother's PC who is running a Gigabyte GA-Z77-UP7 that has a UEFI bios setting. I've set to boot from both Legacy and UEFI boot roms but it just won't show Am i doing it wrong? The list of bootable devices does not show any USB HDD, only the lists of hard disk and SSD.

    Would gladly need your help in some senization @Solaris17
