CREATE BOOTABLE WINDOWS 10 USB (UPDATED)
Create a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive (updated)
Usually, when we consider creating bootable USB drives for Windows, we recommend the Windows 7 USB / DVD Download Tool (it's time to update this Microsoft name), but I had some problems creating one and started looking for another option.
So this time I thought I would try a free utility called Rufus. Here's a look at its use, and, in the end, I had a faster experience using it than the older Microsoft tool.
Update. To get the ISO version for the official release of Windows 10, So, to download the original iso files of windows 10 Click here: For 64bit & 32bit. After downloading your required windows then go to the next procedure for creating a bootable USB flash drive.
Create Windows 10 Technical Preview USB Drive
First of all, make sure you download the Windows 10 Technical Preview by joining the Windows Insider program, as described in this article. Also, make sure that you are using a USB flash drive with at least 4 GB for the 32-bit version and 8 GB for the 64-bit version.
One of the first distinguishing features of Rufus is that installation is not required, which means that you can attach it to a network location or to another external drive to run it. When you run it, its configuration is simple. Select the USB drive you want to use, select the partition scheme - it is worth noting that Rufus also supports a bootable UEFI drive.
Then select the drive icon next to the ISO drop-down list and navigate to the location of your official Windows 10 ISO.
After that, click "Start", and in a few minutes, everything will be fine. If you want to be very careful, check the box to check the device for bad blocks. I did not do this, and my boot disk was ok.
In my experience, using the old USB 2.0 port and drive took less than five minutes to create. If you are using a USB 3.0 or 3.1 devices, I would like to know how fast it works.
In any case, after its creation, you can install the Windows 10 Technical Preview on a spare computer.
Let me know what you think of this tool for Microsoft Windows 7 USB / DVD Tool, for me; I'm going to continue using Rufus - at least until Microsoft updates or creates a new utility - if that happens at all.
And yes, of course, you can use this to create other versions of Windows or Linux distributions from ISO, if you want.
Note:
After your successful installation of windows through this procedure, then read this article for the activation of windows. If you got any queries then feel free to ask me via comments or email.
