  2. Download Windows 10 installation files to a usb drive

    Hi William,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • Where are you downloading Windows 10 from (the link)?
    I would suggest you to check if there is any file in the USB flash drive because it has be to be empty and minimum space of 4GB. If there is any file in it, I would suggest you to save it and then format it.

    Start downloading the tool first and once downloaded, right click the tool and Run as Administrator.

    Kindly refer to: Download Windows 10

    Let us know the result, we'll be happy to assist you further.

    Stuck/Cannot download - Files onto USB DRIVE

    Downloading files to a USB portable drive

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the issue description flash drive is not working on your computer after upgrading to Windows 10.

    The issue may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or corrupt or if your PC requires an update for issues that may conflict with a USB device and Windows. So, I would suggest you to try the following
    steps and check if the issue persists.

    Method 1:

    Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

    • Open Device Manager by pressing Windows key + X and select
      device manager from the list. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    • In the list of hardware categories, find and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    • Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click
      Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    • Restart the computer, and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    • Plug in the removable USB device, and then test to make sure that the issue is resolved.
    Method 2

    The issue could be if the drivers are not updated or get corrupted. So, try to install all of the Windows updates available and if issue persists, try to update the Display drivers by following the steps provided in the article mentioned below.

    10


    If issue still persists, then install the drivers for Windows 8/8.1 from the manufacturer's website in compatibility mode and check if that works.

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

    Method 3

    If issue persists try the steps provided to uninstall the USB device from Device Manager, uninstall the device drivers from program list and then download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    Step 1:

    Uninstall the Device from Device Manager

    • Open Device Manger by clicking on Windows key + X and selecting
      Device manager from the list.
    • Expand the USB section.
    • Find the USB device.
    • Right click USB and select Uninstall.
    • Select the check box delete the driver software for this device.
    • Reboot the computer after uninstall process has finished.
    Step 2:

    Uninstall the Device Drivers from Program List in Control Panel

    • Click on start, select Control Panel
    • Now click on Programs and select Programs and Features.
    • Find the USB.
    • Right click USB driver and select Uninstall.
    • Reboot the computer after the uninstall process has finished.
    Step 3:

    Download and install the latest drivers for the USB from the manufacturer website

    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.
