Windows 10: Windows Install Via USB - 7.53GB Big Enough?

Discus and support Windows Install Via USB - 7.53GB Big Enough? in Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade to solve the problem; I see it takes an 8GB USB drive to create a bootable W10 drive. Mine's an 8GB USB but has, when empty, 7.53 GB. Will it all fit on my USB drive anyway?... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade' started by jimlau, Jul 13, 2021.

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk
