Create bootable usb drive windows 10

Можно использовать установочный носитель (USB-накопитель или DVD-диск), чтобы установить новую копию Windows, выполнить чистую установку или переустановить Windows.

Чтобы создать установочный носитель, перейдите на веб-сайт скачивания ПО, где вы найдете пошаговые инструкции. На этом веб-сайте вы можете выбрать версию Windows и создать собственный установочный носитель с помощью USB-устройства флэш-памяти или DVD-диска. Чтобы перейти непосредственно к одной из версий, выберите одну из следующих ссылок:

Windows 7
Windows 8.1
Windows 10 (Затем выберите Скачать средство сейчас.)
Windows 11 (затем выберите Скачать средство сейчас.)

Важно: Создайте резервную копию файлов перед установкой и переустановкой Windows на компьютере. Узнайте, как это сделать.

Чтобы создать установочный носитель, необходимо следующее:

Компьютер с надежным подключением к Интернету. Время скачивания зависит от скорости подключения к Интернету.
USB-устройство флэш-памяти, внешний жесткий диск или DVD-диск. Пустое USB-устройство флэш-памяти или внешний жесткий диск объемом не менее 8 ГБ либо пустой DVD-диск (и устройство для записи на DVD-диски). Рекомендуем использовать чистый носитель, поскольку все его содержимое будет удалено. Если при записи DVD-диска из ISO-файла отображается сообщение о том, что файл образа диска слишком большой, необходимо использовать DVD-носитель с двумя слоями (DL).
Ключ продукта. 25-значный ключ продукта (не требуется для цифровых лицензий). Если вам требуется помощь, см. раздел Как найти ключ продукта Windows.

После создания установочного носителя вы можете сбросить или переустановить Windows. Дополнительные сведения см. в статье Параметры восстановления в Windows.

In this case to install a Windows 10 operating system we require a bootable disk to start the installation process of Windows 10.

A bootable disk is not required when we upgrade from older operating system like Windows 7 to Windows 10. But if we downloaded an ISO file to install it on a different PC or for a clean install we must have to create a bootable disk.

Lets learn how we can create a bootable Windows 10 disk.

Microsoft has provided official tools to create a bootable disk without using any third party software. We here explain the 3 main methods.

1. Using Windows Media Creation Tool by Microsoft

This is the easiest and most reliable method. The utility automatically downloads Windows 10 and copy the files from a USB disk by making it a bootable disk. This method can also be used to download ISO files only. Follow the steps below.

3. Create Bootable Windows 10 disk with the help of third party software.

However, you will not be required to go with this method (third party tool) because the above given two methods will work for sure. Under any circumstances, you’ll only go with the option if the above two have not worked for you.

4. Create Bootable Windows 10 USB through Command Prompt

This method is useful for advanced users. Sometimes users only have access to command prompts only and are unable to start Windows. If you have an ISO file, you can create a bootable pen drive using this method. Follow the given guidelines carefully as this method is a little complicated:

Plug in your USB drive to your computer.
Open “Command Prompt” (Admin).
In the Command prompt, type in the following command: diskpart and press the enter key from your keyboard.
Now type list disk and press enter key. This will display a list of available connected disks.

Now get exit from disk part command by typing EXIT command. Go back to the command prompt on the main screen.
Now minimize it for a while.

Copy the Windows 10 files to USB flash drive

Copy all the files of Windows 10 and paste them in the USB drive manually. Files can be copied from a Windows 10 disk or by extraction from an ISO file.

Open the Windows 10 Disk / saved Windows 10 folder. If you do not have this, then download the Windows 10 ISO file from the Microsoft website and extract the ISO file to a folder, then open the extracted folder.
Select all the files of Windows 10 and copy them.
Now open the USB flash drive and paste all the copied files there.

Now make the USB flash drive bootable

Let’s suppose that the F: drive would be your USB drive and the E: drive is your DVD drive. Make sure the Windows 10 bootable DVD is inserted into the DVD drive from where the data is copied to the USB bootable drive.

Change the Windows active directory to the F: drive (DVD Drive). The default active directory is “C:\Windows\System32” in CMD. That Windows 10 DVD should be inserted into the DVD drive.

Open the command prompt (admin) once again.
Type E: and then press enter. The active directory will be changed immediately.
Now type in the CD boot command and press enter.
To create the bootsector in the F: drive (USB Pen Drive), type bootsect/nt60 F: into the command line.
