How to make usb bootable windows 10 usb

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.

Bootable disk is required when we need to do a fresh Windows installation. Bootable disk is a disk which contains special files to boot up or startup the computer to start a utility or program. 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.



  1. Download the Windows Media Creation Tool: Click here to download media creation tool.
  2. Double-click on the downloaded file.
  3. Select “create installation media for another PC“.
  4. Select Language / Edition and Architecture as per your requirement.
    To learn more about it, go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10
  5. Select USB flash drive for USB or ISO file for DVD.
  6. Your disk will be ready after the completion of the process. It requires atleast 8 GB of pen drive. Make sure there will not be any important data in the disk as it will format the disk during the creation of the bootable disk.Create bootable windows 10 disk
  7. Select “USB Flash Drive” option and click on Next.Create bootable USB drive using Media creation tool

You can download Windows 10 ISO files for free directly from Microsoft using this media creation tool. An activation key will be required during the installation process.

2. Using Windows USB / DVD Download Tool

This is an old and still working method to create a bootable media for Windows Installation. The name can confuse you but it is also working perfectly for Windows 10 as well. However, this method requires an ISO image of Windows 10. So first you have to download the Windows 10 iso file.

  1. This process requires an empty USB stick (Min: 8GB). Quickly format the USB drive first.
  2. Download Windows USB / DVD Download Tool & Install it on your computer.
  3. After finishing of its installation, Run it.
  4. It requires an ISO image file for Windows. Select the ISO image and start the process. you can download the ISO file of windows 10 using the media creation tool as mentioned in method 1.
  5. Start Windows USB / DVD Download Tool to create a bootable disk
  6. Select the Windows 10 ISO file by clicking on the browse button.
  7. Then click on Next.
    Create Bootable USB / DVD with the ISO File
  8. After that, it will ask you to select the USB drive.
  9. It will prompt you to format the USB drive. Please allow it to format the USB flash drive and start making the Windows 10 USB. Follow the remaining on-screen instructions too.
  10. After completion of the process, your Windows 10 bootable USB / DVD installer USB will be ready to use.

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.

Making a boot-able flash drive becomes pretty easy with a third party software, named Rufus. Here are the essential guidelines when using Rufus to make a bootable Windows 10 flash drive. Let’s learn the same.

  1. Download Rufus.
  2. Open Rufus.exe
  3. When the software launches on the screen, plug in your USB flash drive.
  4. Find the option Create a bootable USB drive.
  5. From the menu that follows, select an ISO image.
  6. Now click on next button to this menu and click on the Windows 10 ISO you want to install on your computer.
  7. Now click on the start button at the bottom, and it will begin to create a bootable USB flash drive.
  8. Once completed, your USB will become bootable and you will be ready to install / reinstall Windows 10 on any computer using this Windows 10 USB flash drive.

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:

  1. Plug in your USB drive to your computer.
  2. Open “Command Prompt” (Admin).
  3. In the Command prompt, type in the following command: diskpart and press the enter key from your keyboard.Create bootable disk using command promptt with diskpart
  4. Now type list disk and press enter key. This will display a list of available connected disks.
  5. From this list, you need to select your USB drive. To do this, type select disk # and press Enter (Replace # with your disk number from the list). You will get a message saying “Disk 1 is now the selected disk’
  6. The next step is to clean the USB drive. To do this, type clean and press enter.
  7. Now create a bootable partition, simply type Create partition primary and press Enter.
  8. You need to select the partition you just created. Type select partition 1 and then type active and hit Enter.
  9. Now format the USB drive by typing “format fs=ntfs quick”. After this, press Enter.
  10. Assign drive letter. To assign a letter to your USB drive, just type assign. You may skip this step.
  11. Now get exit from disk part command by typing EXIT command. Go back to the command prompt on the main screen.
  12. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Select all the files of Windows 10 and copy them.
  3. 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.

  1. Open the command prompt (admin) once again.
  2. Type E: and then press enter. The active directory will be changed immediately.
  3. Now type in the CD boot command and press enter.
  4. To create the bootsector in the F: drive (USB Pen Drive), type bootsect/nt60 F: into the command line.
  5. That’s it!! Your flash drive is now a Windows 10 bootable USB drive

And that is all there is to know about the manual creation of a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive. all the methods are equally useful. If you’re an expert you can use the manual method without taking help from software, but beginners are advised to seek software help to avoid any complications. The best and easy method is using the Windows Media Creation Tool .

Are you still using the Windows 7? Microsoft has ended the windows 7 support.
Upgrade to Windows 10 as early as possible.


Why we need to create a bootable Windows 10 USB drive?

Since the availability of USB drives, the use of CD and DVD has prominently declined. The major reasons behind this are the ease of use, portability, larger capacity and faster copying of data files by the USB drives in comparison to the older methods. All you need is a flash drive with a capacity of more than 4GB, although 6 to 12 GB of available space is ideal for storing additional files as well. Create a bootable USB drive and keep it in a safe place that you can use this disk to easily fix the installation issues.

How to download windows 10 bootable USB or ISO image for clean windows installation.

Given above method 1 can be used to easily download the ISO image file. We didn’t found any other direct link to download ISO image for offline purpose. So downloading it using the media creation tool is the only method to get it directly from the Microsoft.

You can also upgrade to Windows 10 for Free using windows 7 license key.

  • 2 How to Put Windows 10 on a USB Drive via ISO with Rufus (Legacy or UEFI)
  • 3 How to Create a Windows 10 Bootable USB fro ISO via the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (Legacy)

No matter how technically-minded you are, it’s always smart to have a Windows 10 boot stick to hand. It takes just a few minutes to create a bootable Windows 10 USB, but it can save countless hours if your OS breaks down and you don’t have a  spare PC to hand.

These days, a Windows 10 USB is the preferred method to perform a clean install of Microsoft’s operating system. With disk drives more or less dead, it’s often the only real choice on a completely new PC. Flash drives also don’t get scratched, are faster to write to, and take up less space.

Those wondering exactly how to make a bootable USB for Windows will be pleased to hear there are three generally accepted methods. One involves Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool, which greatly simplifies the experience, while third-party tool Rufus is best used to create a bootable USB from an iso. We’ll also be covering the creation of a boot stick from Windows 7, for the few of you still left on the outdated OS.

First, though, it’s worth noting that Windows machines generally have two BIOS types: Legacy or UEFI. You can read a full explanation on superuser here, but the general gist is that UEFI is supported on most modern PCs. If you’re unsure, take a look at your System Information app. Windows will list the type under ‘BIOS mode’.

How to Create a Windows 10 USB via the Media Creation Tool (UEFI or Legacy)

This is the Microsoft-recommended route to put Windows 10 on a USB drive, and for good reason. The Media Creation Tool cuts out some of the licensing annoyances in the setup process.

  1. Download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool

    The Windows 10 Media Creation Tool can be grabbed from Microsoft’s official site, and you shouldn’t obtain it from anywhere else. Once there, decide if you want your Windows 10 boot stick to install a 32 or 64-bit version of the OS (64-bit is a safe bet for most people). Click the relevant “Download tool now” button and open the file.

  2. Use the Windows 10 bootable USB tool to create media for another PC

    When the Media Creation Tool boots, it’ll ask you to choose whether to create installation media this PC or another one. Click “Create installation media for another PC” and click “Next”.

  3. Choose a system architecture for your Windows 10 USB

    When you install Windows 10 to a USB, Microsoft asks you to choose the system’s architecture, language, and edition. Check your license key to see if you want a Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro download, and select 64-bit or 32-bit. Again, you can find your architecture in your System Information app, but you can always choose both if you have the space on the USB drive. Once you’re done, click “Next”.

  4. Agree to install Windows 10 to a USB flash drive

    On the “Choose which media to use” screen, click “USB flash drive”. Click “Next”.

  7. Finish the Windows 10 USB creation

    When everything has been written to the drive, the Media Creation Tool will display the message “Your USB flash drive is ready”. Click “Finish”.

How to Put Windows 10 on a USB Drive via ISO with Rufus (Legacy or UEFI)

The in-built Windows 10 download tool is good enough, but there are some instances where you might want to use third-party tool Rufus. For example, if you followed our how to download Windows 10 ISO files guide and have a disc image lying around already. It can also be better if you don’t have enough space on your C:/ drive for the Media Installation Tool to function.

  1. Download a Windows 10 ISO file

    There are several ways you can obtain an ISO:

    ?  Via the Media Creation Tool
    ?  Directly from the Microsoft servers
    ?  From an unofficial source (not recommended)
    ?  By converting an official Windows Update ESD file into ISO format
    ?  By slipstreaming all available updates into a Windows 10 ISO file

  2. Grab the Rufus Windows 10 download

    Download Rufus from the official website, either in regular or portable version. We choose Rufus because it’s free and tends to be faster than other alternatives like UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, Windows 7 USB download tool, or WintoUSB.

  3. Plug in the USB Flash Drive and run Rufus

    It should boot straight to the Rufus bootable usb screen without any extra fuss.

  4. Create a Windows 10 UEFI boot USB with Rufus

    To create a UEFI boot USB, select the following options, and click Start:

    ?  Device: Your USB drive
    ?  Partition scheme and target system type: GPT partition scheme for UEFI
    ?  File system: Fat32 (Default)
    ?  Cluster size: 4096 bytes (Default)
    ?  New volume label: Windows 10 UEFI
    ?  Format Options:
          ✔ Quick format
          ✔ Create a bootable disk using: ISO image (here you need to select your 64-bit             Windows 10 ISO file from your computer)
          ✔
    Standard Windows installation
          ✔ Create extended label and icon files

    Once you’re done, click “Start”.


    Accept the warning by clicking “OK”.

  5. Create a Windows 10 Legacy Boot USB with Rufus

    The settings for a Rufus bootable USB that’s compatible with Legacy BIOS versions are quite different. Select the following:

    ?  Device: Your USB drive
    ?  Partition Scheme and target system type: MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI-CSM
    ?  File system: NTFS
    ?  Cluster size: 4096 bytes (Default)
    ?  New volume label: Windows 10 Legacy Boot USB
    ?  Format Options:
          ✔ Quick format
          ✔ Create a bootable disk using: ISO image (here you need to select your 64-bit          Windows 10 ISO file)
          ✔ Standard Windows installation
          ✔ Create extended label and icon files

    When you’re done, click “Start”.


    Accept the warning by clicking “OK”.

How to Create a Windows 10 Bootable USB fro ISO via the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (Legacy)

If you want a legacy BIOS but want to stick to Microsoft’s official tool, the old Windows 7 USB/DVD tool is also a good choice.

  1. Download a Windows 10 ISO file

    ?  Via the Media Creation Tool
    ?  Directly from the Microsoft servers
    ?  From an unofficial source (not recommended)
    ?  By converting an official Windows Update ESD file into ISO format
    ?  By slipstreaming all available updates into a Windows 10 ISO file

  2. Download and Install the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool
  3. Click “Browse”

  4. Select your Windows 10 ISO file and press “Open”

  5. Click “Next”

  6. Choose “USB device”

  7. Select the Windows 10 USB you want to make into a boot stick

    If it doesn’t display immediately, ensure it’s plugged in correctly and press the refresh icon. Then click “Begin copying”.

  8. Erase the USB drive

  9. Confirm the drive erase by clicking “Yes”

  10. Wait for the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to create a Windows 10 boot stick

    Depending on your hard drive/USB speeds, this could take some time.

  11. Close the USB/DVD Download tool

    When you see the “Bootable USB device created successfully” message, it’s safe to close.

Isn’t it amazing that our USB flash drives can hold a live operating system? This has been really helpful and convenient to many of us who would need to install or reinstall their operating system on their laptops and computers. It just has gotten way easier for us, without having to install it using the traditional CD drives or DVD drives.

Windows 10 has been the common go-to operating system as it has stood the test of time. You might notice that most laptops or computers comes with the default operating system which is Windows. If you have a look at your office’s computers, many businesses as well has the Windows operating system installed on their computers. I myself, from my childhood up to now, am using the Windows operating system and I think it’s just easier to stick with what you are used to.

So, as what I have said earlier, USB flash drives can now hold a live operating system. And that is made possible with the help of a tool that allows us to create a bootable USB flash drive. Win32 Disk Imager is a simple program and an open source application that can write image files to a USB flash drive. Here are the things that I love about the Win32 Disk Imager:

  • Simple and straight forward. It has a very simple user interface thus allowing us to create a bootable USB flash drive without any confusion. It is pretty straight forward, as you just need to select the Windows 10 image file from your computer and the device which is the USB flash drive that we are going to use, and voila! You have your Windows 10 bootable USB flash drive.
  • Win32 Disk Imager is a free program! You don’t even have to shell out money to be able to use this amazing program.

P.S.

Just be sure that you have selected the correct device. It is always best to only have the USB flash drive plugged into your laptop or computer to avoid confusion. If you are not sure whether you have selected the correct device, you can check the name of your device by going to the File Explorer.

Step 6: Double check

  • Make sure that you have selected the correct file for the Image File
  • Make sure that you have selected the correct device
