Reinstalling Windows 10 from a flash drive

At the moment, when I was just starting to get acquainted with a personal computer, the supply of the innovative distribution kit was even more urgent, and the tools for its creation were not so plentiful. However, if you knew the utility you needed, most importantly, it was easy to master and drew great knowledge, which, forgiving the hackers, was not suitable at all. No one even thinks about recording images in a couple of clicks on a flash drive, but the clock changes and the story becomes a bull.

A compelling Windows 10 flash drive – a proposal from Microsoft

I think it will be fair to publish the review in the official way, which is promoted by the Microsoft company. Of course, it is not always handy, but for beginners, as we like to say - those who have been prescribed by a doctor.

First of all, we need to download the official Media Creation Tool from the Microsoft i website, and first stock up on a flash drive with a size of at least 8 gigabytes (Not all flash drives are subject to less treatment), Just a couple of hours of free time and a much needed high-speed and unlimited Internet. The bottom line here is the first shortcoming of this method - you won’t be able to record a ready-made image that you could get from your neighbor and then record on your computer. This utility downloads the remaining current distribution and writes it to the installation media.

A few words about the capacity of this utility. You must use the utility of the same capacity as your system - so as not to depend on the capacity of the created distribution kit that you want to record on a USB drive for installing an operating system from it.

However, Media Creation Tools is not the only way to create an installation tool, but it is a useful aid in the transition to Windows 10. However, this utility’s functionality cannot be seen in the context of our tasks, and a clean installation from scratch is the protection of good enemies Today is the new Microsoft operating system . without glitches and galm.

Let's get everything straightened out - let's move on to the most important thing. Let’s launch the “Windows 10 Installer” and ask, what do we want to earn? Upgrade our computer or create an installation for another computer? Click on another option, select it and press the “Next” button

In the near future you will choose a language and system architecture (this is what I wrote about at the very beginning - here we select the capacity of the installation kit). If you are not sure what exactly is right for you, then you can rely on the utility and check the “Select settings for your computer” checkbox. As a rule, the optimal settings are set very correctly.

The last step in preparing the installation flash drive is to choose what we want to do with the distribution? - just save it on your computer (Indicated on the little one below), or write to flash memory. It is especially not clear to me that we need to save the ISO image on the computer, since using this additional utility it is not possible to prepare an installation package, even though the distribution kit may already be required (before the speech, which will be created). and MediaCreationTool)

I lost the ability to download Windows 10 onto a USB flash drive. It’s all about the speed of your Internet connection and the productivity of the flash drive if you want to become proficient with Windows 10. (If you choose a good drive with USB 3 and connect it to the appropriate ports on your computer, this process will significantly speed up and record your illness treatment)

Rufus - the best third-party solution for fancy noses

The time has come for our favorite method of creating a custom flash drive for installing Windows 10. This software is built on more, but we can now look at it in the context of creating the “tens” installation kit.

If the first method is not suitable for you, or if you have your own ready-made ISO image with the distribution kit of the operating system you need, then there is nothing simpler than writing it to a flash drive.

In the “Device” section, select your flash drive, at the very bottom of the program window you will find “Create a backup disk” and, by clicking on the image of the CD, select Rostering our ISO image from Windows 10.

“Start” is printed and the recording of the image to the flash drive is completed.

Return to the item “Partition scheme and type of system interface” - Rufus itself selects the best option. If you do not understand these instructions, then if you have not yet installed the system, simply try another option - we may help.

Creation of a fancy Windows 10 flash drive without programs

This method is only suitable for fairly new computers and laptops, the motherboard of which is equipped with UEFI software (and this means the computer is not older than 3-4 years old) and it does not support this much-needed EFI hardware.

It can be said that this is an option for the “line” ones, we need only two ingredients - a flash drive of the same size is formatted in FAT32 (this is very important) And the image itself is in Windows 10. We just need to transfer all the files in the image to the root of the flash drive and that’s it. The image can be mounted using Daemon Tools or using standard methods (Windwos 10 can work with ISO images straight out of the box)

That's all, now you can install Windows 10 from a newly created flash drive (assuming you have the UEFI mode enabled). It is logical that we need to select USB storage from the Boot Menu of the motherboard.

Ultra ISO - a revised method for creating a new flash drive

Creation of an advanced flash drive using UltraISO - this method can be brought down to the “old-fashioned”, I don’t even remember, when I started to use the program for “cutting” the image onto a USB storage device, but soon the help appeared functional utilities. But don’t forget that this program is much more than a stagnation, less than a banal recording of an image on a flash drive.

The process itself can be broken down into several steps:

  1. We open the ISO image of Windows 10 from the program (I spent a long time figuring out what to choose when writing to a flash drive, it turned out to be so simple)
  2. In the “Self-Mounting” menu, select the “Burn Hard Disk Image...” item, after which you select the drive and press start; in most cases, there is no need to configure anything.

WinSetupFromUSB is one of the most useful tools

Let's move on to one more program, recognizing some only in slices system images (not except Windows 10) on USB drives, the utility is called - WinSetupFromUSB

Creating a great Windows 10 flash drive is quite simple here - you select the device on which you need to burn the ISO image and use the checkbox to indicate what you want to put in it. Press the button with “three dots” and select our distribution - press the GO button and go drink tea, you don’t need anything else.

Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool

Another simple method from Microsoft to burn Window 7 to a flash drive, and the instructions given are also suitable for Windows 10 - everything works wonderfully. I don’t make any special sense of this method - these are other simpler methods that do not require the installation of additional programs, but this method has the right to live. It’s a pity that the utility is only English, but it doesn’t pose the usual difficulties associated with the interface.

Krok 1. Select the ISO image with your Windows 10 distribution (If this is a complicated installation, be prepared before this utility cannot create a valuable installation kit for you)

Croc 2 It turns out that where we want to record our image is on a DVD or USB device, we haven’t been able to burn disks for a long time, that’s the topic of our article - a flash drive for storage, not disks...

Krok 3 and 4. We insert our USB drive, select it from the list and press the green Begin copying button. We stock up on patience and check for the completion of recording files to the storage device.

With this, we have smoothly completed the remaining sixth method of creating a valuable flash drive with Windows 10 on board. In the following notes, I will try to clearly explain how to introduce such a tool in practice, as always in pictures and as clearly as possible.

P.S. Well, friends, I bet you have decided which option of recording the distribution on a flash drive is more suitable for you. We sing that for a single visit to the script “Having won for yourself, setting and forgetting” - this is an option from the Media Creation Tool. To solve this, use Rufus, which does not require installation. Ale tse lishe is my, subjective thought. All the best!

Since the launch of the final version of Windows 10 by Microsoft, millions of customers have already been able to appreciate all its advantages and some of the promotions, during which all owners of the licensed version of Windows s" 7 and above could be upgraded absolutely cost-free to version "Windows" 10. More precisely, not Even the final version, Microsoft plans to present it as a service, and the “ten” will be further developed and updated.

Undeterred by the hot super-rechkas about the constraints and possible shortcomings, most of the koristuvachs have decided that the version has once been truly given.

Self-installation of Windows 10 from a flash drive: report instructions

Any skin patient from June 29, 2015 to June 29, 2016 can safely withdraw this product from the savings of a perpetual license. And if you couldn’t earn something or didn’t want to for any reason, but still wanted to install “top ten” on your computer or laptop at once, and if you want to earn it on your own, then this article will be even worse.

Before installation, copy important files to a secure location

In the first place, please talk about saving your data on your computer before installing Windows 10 from a flash drive. Copy all important information or burn it to disk.

Check that your computer provides the minimum system benefits for the “ten”. You can view the minimum benefits on the Microsoft website.

Now let's move on to the best part: creating a flash drive.

  • For this we need a USB flash drive with a capacity of at least 4 GB. We need to format it first.
  • We insert the flash drive into the USB socket.
  • We format the flash drive in the standard way.

Create a custom flash drive using MediaCreationTool

Let's go to the official Microsoft website. Click on the “Get yourself now” button to download the special MediaCreationTool utility for creating a flash drive.

  • We launch the program.
  • Accepted under the licensed conditions (please read).

  • In the next window there is a marker indicating the item “Create an installation media for another computer.”

  • Then uncheck the box “Select standard settings”. Select the language, version and capacity. Embossed "Dali".

To preserve your license, you need to select the same version that you have. Otherwise, you will need a license key.

The capacity is not important for activating the license, but if you have less than 3 GB of RAM, then installing Windows 10-64 bit from a flash drive is more expensive. The same system itself is subgalactic, so it is better to choose the discharge from the clear possession. For RAM above 4 GB, use the 64-bit version.

  • Next, select the device - the item opposite the USB flash memory device is indicated. I click “Next”.
  • We check that the required flash drive has been selected and “Next” is stamped again.

  • We check for the completed creation of the original flash drive.

There is no need to make more daily changes or adjustments. After the recording is completed, the program will notify you of any additional information in the utility window.

Clean installation of Windows 10 after updating

Since you were updating during a cost-free period, you lost the old system on your system disk and saved it in a folder called Windows old. The ability to go back and restore the old system when updated was only 30 days after the update. After the end of this period, the Windows old folder has become disabled and no longer takes up space on the hard drive.

When you completely reinstall the system, all applications and unnecessary files that can corrupt the system will be deleted. Don’t worry, if a new system has been activated on your computer during the upgrade. During a clean installation, the license will be saved with the new format, and the digital key will be attached until it is purchased. Afterwards, it activates itself the first time you connect to the Internet.

Adjustment of settings for flash drives in BIOS

If you prefer to install Windows 10 from a flash drive via BIOS, you should know that you need to set the priority for downloading from the flash drive. We turn on the computer, or restart it as soon as possible, and begin to vigorously press the F2 or Delete key. Depending on the key you have, you may need to enter the BIOS. For most computers use Delete, and for laptops – F2.

The same button on the computer indicates that the BIOS is locked, you can check the operating system for the POST test.

"Press del to run setup"

It’s just as easy to get involved in this way.

Navigation in the BIOS is done using arrow keys as well as other keys on the keyboard.

  • Go to the Boot section.
  • In separate boot device priority You can set the priority for downloading from a flash drive.
  • And also in the division hard disk drives As the hard disk for which storage will be carried out, we also select a flash drive.

Installation from a Windows 10 flash drive

We are revantaging the computer. If everything is assembled correctly, you will need to press a key on the front screen when prompted: “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD_.”

  • Then you will be able to select a language, select Russian and click “Next”.
  • At the next window, you can start the system update or install it by pressing the “Install” button in the center of the screen.

Activation of "Windows": remove the license area

  • When you step on the screen, you will see a window for entering the key “Windows” 10. If you have upgraded to “Windows” 10 from “Simka” or 8 on your computer before, you just need to press the “Skip” button. Activation will take place within the hour of your first connection to the Internet. Or enter a key like this.
  • You must understand the terms of the license, having obviously read it first.
  • Once you have selected the installation type, you will need to select another option, “Vibirk installation”. There is no need to select the upgrade option, in which all your data on the system drive will simply be moved to the Windows Old folder. Nothing will be seen. Do you need a clean installation? Therefore, we choose another option - select installation of Windows 10 from a flash drive to the computer.

Hard disk formatting

  • By this time, you will have a few partitions - more than that, since you have disks on your computer, but system-reserved disks that you don’t need to repair, you will need only a partition where your old system is located. Significance is due to commitment. To save everything that you have saved on other logical drives, you need to format only one partition – drive C.
  • Click on it, then on the “Format” button, again select our section, where the “Next” button will be inserted and embossed.

Or you can completely delete all partitions, since installing Windows 10 via a flash drive requires formatting the entire hard drive. And then create the necessary strength again.

Installing Windows 10

Then the installation process itself begins - copying files, installing components, updating. There are five stages. As soon as the heavy PC is installed, Windows will start installing. Here you will need to stock up on terpines, so the whole process can cost about 40 minutes (give or take). Once the installation is complete, the computer will restart. There is no need to press the same buttons, but at the moment of restarting you need to remove the flash drive from the slot.

Installing Windows 10 from a flash drive on a laptop is no different than installing it on a computer or netbook. The fatigue may be reduced due to the tension of the installation.

Setting up Windows 10: the remaining stage of installation

After restarting your computer, you may freeze for a few minutes or more, depending on how old your computer is. Don’t shout, don’t try to over-vantage. The adjustment process will begin automatically once the system adjusts all parameters.

If you have any time cards or Wi-Fi adapters, you ask the computer to connect before the time, you can either do it right away or skip the entire process.

At the next stage, you will be prompted to enter the key for the product again, but you will be able to work with it later. If the device where the installation is being carried out has already been updated to the Windows 10 version, you will be prompted to “Skip this step.”

Adjusting parameters

At the remaining stages of installing Windows 10 from the flash drive, configure the settings. If you click “Vikoristovat standard parameters”, nothing bad will happen. The main idea is about the possibility of coercion, then, about collecting information about the seller with the method of delivering contextual advertising to him. If you don’t want to tell anyone about yourself, you can select information collection by clicking on the “Adjust settings” option. There you can turn off everything that might make you suspicious or inappropriate. Please read carefully and enable all settings that you do not need.

Creation of oblikovy record

After adjusting the settings, the next step will be to create a Microsoft cloud account. If you have connected to the Internet, then you can create or create a cloud account, then enter your login and password.

Final stage of installation

The next stage of installing Windows 10 from a flash drive involves the final adjustment of parameters, accompanied by notifications on the screen that periodically change the color of the board. Here you will have to stock up on terpenes, so the adjustment can take both a day and more than 40 minutes. It is not recommended to vimikati PC or rezavantazhuvat computer. If you have patience, check it out.

That's all! Windows installation has stopped installing drivers. Moreover, it is important to attract them from the official sites of your owner’s distributor. Windows, of course, installs standard drivers automatically, but in some cases it does not work, and they need to be installed before they are installed.

If at any stage you have a problem when installing Windows 10 from a flash drive, you need to go to the official website of the Microsoft company in the support section. There is a database with different codes of approvals and their descriptions.

There are plenty of ways to prepare a USB flash drive for installing Windows 10, I’ll highlight the most popular:

Respect!!! For any of the described methods, it is necessary to prepare a USB flash drive - transfer all data from it, or prepare it before all information on it is deleted.

Get a Windows 10 USB flash drive for an additional copy.

This method is extremely simple and will give you the least amount of work, but is only suitable for those who want to install Windwos 10 on a computer/laptop with UEFI instead of BIOS.

UEFI (Unified EFI Interface) is a standard software interface for computers that replaces BIOS. It’s easy to open your BIOS, it has a graphical interface + mouse cursor control is available.

If you are planning to install Windows 10 on a computer/laptop with a BIOS or you don’t know what to use, it’s better to use another method, described below.

For what method do we need:

Installing the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool does not involve any pitfalls, as long as you click “Next” and there is a shortcut to the utility on your desktop. You will no longer be able to launch the utility.

You will see where you need to select an ISO image of Windows 10. Click the "Brouse" button and select the path to the image. After that, click “Next”.

Select the USB flash drive you want to burn Windows 10 to.

To be notified that all information from the flash drive will be deleted, click the “Erase USB Device” button.

Then another window of a similar change will appear, press “So”.

Just stretch out your USB flash drive and it will be ready. From the result you will see a row about those that are ready “Bootable USB device created successfully”.

Now you can close the window from the program.

How to get a flash drive for additional UltraISO programs.

Having previously looked at ways to create a private flash drive using Windows tools, I learned how to quickly use the UtraISO program.

For what method do you need:

1) USB flash drive with a volume of at least 6 GB;

2) UltraISO program;

Download and install the program Ultra ISO. We are ruled by the cost-free version, so on the site select “Free Trial”

Select the Russian version and enjoy it.

Installing programs takes a lot of pressing the “Next” button, so I think there are no problems with anyone. Launch UltraISO and select "Trial period".

Then select “File” - “Open”.

Select the Windows 10 ISO image and click "Open"

Make sure your USB flash drive is listed in the “Disk Drive” field and click “Burn.”

In the window that indicates that all information from the USB drive will be deleted, press “Yes”.

Then you need to check a few things while the UltraISO program prepares a new USB flash drive. As a result, the program window will display “Recording complete!”

Now you can start installing Windows 10 from a flash drive.

We can install a Windows 10 USB flash drive using the command line.

I would like to introduce to you the most ascetic method of creating a Windows 10 installation flash drive – using the command line. For what way do we need:

1) USB flash drive with a volume of at least 6 GB;

Open the command row as administrator.

Below is a print screen of the command line with the assigned commands for creating a private flash drive. Gradually remove the skin. It is described below that another command is needed.

diskpart- an interpreter that allows you to interact with objects (disks, partitions and volumes).

list disk- Review of disks/flash drives connected to the computer.

select disk 1- Select the disk from which further actions will be carried out. It is necessary to enter the number that the OS assigned to your USB device. Be respectful of your choice.

clean- disk cleanup

Now you need to unzip the ISO image of Windows 10.

І copy everything to a USB drive.

In this article, I have described 5 different ways in which you can create a private Windows 10 USB flash drive, but you will not be able to choose which method suits you and proceed with it.

Since the release of Windows 10 Technical Preview, it has aroused interest among computer users. Anyone who wants to try out a new operating system right away, which means “working on the bugs” introduced in previous versions.

There is also food supply for this installation. What is different from the previous versions? In this article we will look at the process of installing an OS from a flash drive, which is not at all difficult.

System benefits

To get the hang of the system using the new OS:

  • processor with a clock frequency of 1GHz and higher;
  • 1 GB of RAM (or 2 GB, if the 64-bit version is used);
  • At least 16 GB of free space on your hard drive;
  • video card that supports Microsoft DirectX 9;
  • Internet connection for creating a Microsoft cloud account.

Also, for installation you will need a flash drive with a capacity of 4 GB (or 8 GB for the 64-bit version).

Creation of a vandalized hoarder

Before you can print the created flash drive, you will need an image of the operating system, which can be downloaded from the official Microsoft website. The recording process changes little in the latest versions of the OS.

For this you can use several methods:

  • recording for additional help with UltraISO programs;
  • team row;
  • Rufus program.

Video: Windows 10 from a flash drive


All three options, which have their pros and cons, will be considered further.

Ultra ISO

One of the most common ways to create a secure flash drive is to disable UltraISO. This program has proven itself well for such purposes, and it is reliable and simple for Vikoristan.

To begin the process you need:


Increase your respect! During the recording process, all data will be deleted from the flash drive.

Command line

Another way to write it down is to use the command line. Its advantage is that it does not require additional programs - it is just an image of the operating system.

If you are using Windows 7, to gain access to the command row you need to:

  • go to “Start”, then “All programs” and “Standard”;
  • On this page, find the “Command Row” and, by right-clicking on it, select “Run as administrator”.

Now, following the help window, you can proceed to the final process:

  • Then enter two commands: diskpart and list disk;
  • go to the “Computer” menu and find out what number the flash drive is located under (for example, F);
  • After this, enter the following commands: select disk F (where F is the letter of the storage value), clean, create partition primary, format fs = fat32 quick, active, assign, list volume, exit.

Important! After this process, all data from the flash drive will be deleted. Commands must be entered without com or through.

Now, if the flash drive is ready, you need to copy it from the OS file. For this purpose, you can use a program for installing images (Daemon Tools, UltraISO). Simply click on the disk image with the right mouse button and select “Mount”, after which we copy it to a flash drive.

You can also use the archiver program (7Zip, WinRAR) for this purpose:

  • right-click on the ISO file;
  • select the “Load files” option;
  • at the window you can tell the way to the flash drive;
  • Confirm your choice by pressing “OK”.

Once unpacking is complete, the image will be ready for installation.

Rufus

To transfer image files to a flash drive, you can also use the specialized program Rufus. This is a utility that can easily be used everywhere to serve its own purpose.

Working with her is also simple:

  1. download and install the program;
  2. we launch it and insert the flash drive into the port;
  3. Rufus will automatically detect its presence, if not at the time of amends - obviously go to it manually;
  4. put a tick in the option "Create a bootable disk using", after which we click on the small hard disk icon, remove the instruction from it;
  5. obviously go to the saved image of the operating system;
  6. press “Start” to begin the process.

Photo: menu and customization of Rufus programs

The price is around 20-30 hvilin. Wait until the program “DONE” informs you, after which you can close and remove the flash drive.

Increase your respect! During installation, you can open your account instead of the storage device - just fill it in before the program is completed.

Installing Windows 10 from a USB flash drive via BIOS

Once the flash drive is ready, we proceed to the final installation. The first step will be setting up the BIOS.

Setting up the BIOS

Working with the basic input-output system can be confusing, but you can actually follow the simple steps:

  • We insert a flash drive with the OS into a USB port and restart the system;
  • At the start of the hour, press the Delete key (possibly F2, F3, F8, F10 and other options that are located in the dialer);
  • After selecting the menu, go to the Boot tab and select Boot Device Priority;
  • On whose priority list we install a flash drive in the first place, so that attraction begins with it;
  • To save changes and exit, press “Enter” and F10.

Photo: flash drive installed on the priority list

Installed

After rebooting the system, you will end up installing Windows 10 from a USB flash drive:


Important! During installation, the computer may be re-enabled several times as a normal interruption to the process. It is necessary to wait for this to be completed.

Setting up the OS

When the installation is complete, you can see the Wi-Fi network selection screen. Here you can set a check for which PC will be connected to after startup, or skip this entire step. Next, the system sets up another set of settings - selecting the update frequency, adding calls and other information.

Here, the user is presented with two options:

  • vibrate "Customize" and train yourself those who have been given to strengthen themselves;
  • Select the option and set the recommendations for the settings.

If you select the “Use express settings” option, you will automatically receive anonymous statistics sent to retailers, which includes a list of add-ons that are installed on the PC, and all reports about problems that arise.

For further progress you will need a Microsoft account record. Those who already have one can simply enter their details if they decide to go through the complicated registration process. The Microsoft cloud account is the same for all devices running on the Windows platform.


It will also be possible to adjust the messy OneDrive system, where documents, photos and videos of the correspondent can be placed. After this, the process of installation and initial adjustment can be officially completed.

The next step is to install the drivers with a fresh operating system. Without these, you may experience problems with displaying graphics on your PC, various problems, and the inability to connect to the Internet.

Increase your respect! More details about the availability of required drivers immediately, downloading them from official sites. The driver for the edge card is especially important, because without it in the new system it is not possible to access the edge and, therefore, access other required programs.

You can check which drivers are present in the system:

  • go to "Device Manager" ("My Computer", then "Hardware");
  • show respect at an unidentified device (by calling out signs).

Such elements are performed incorrectly, because they are not indicated. Once found, you can download and install the required drivers.

We hope that this article helped you install and configure Windows 10 Technical Preview. Now, together with millions of other profiteers, you can protest against the feasibility of the new operating system, and then take part from its abbreviated, overpowering statistic about amends and introducing your own propositions.

Using a USB storage device, you can easily reinstall the latest Windows 10 on any desktop computer or laptop. Flash drives are very popular these days, and they can be used to reinstall any operating system. To know how to reinstall Windows 10 from a flash drive, you don’t have to be a programmer or other cool hacker in the field of IT technology. You can independently reinstall the operating system by reading this report. Let's talk about Windows 10, although the process is not much different from installing Windows 8 or 7.

The instructions are written on the butt of an Asus laptop, as shown in the screenshots. This article is suitable for those who want to install Windows 10 on a computer without a new operating system, instead of a regular operating system, or if they want to install Windows 10 with a dedicated operating system. The article contains instructions for installing Windows 10 from scratch, but not for updating the operating system that is already on the device.

For laptop owners, there are a lot of articles that tell you how to install Windows 10 on any model.

The order of actions is divided into sections. Meta - do not get lost in the remaining misunderstood koristuvachs.

How to transfer Windows 10 to storage

We are preparing a flash drive, which will be equipped with OS version 10. Why not use the software developed by Microsoft – Media Creation Tool. This program is available on the official Microsoft website.

After installing and launching the program, you must select the option “Create an installation backup for another computer.” Next, select your language, operating system version and architecture, select the storage device (in case of a flash drive). After this you become interested in the image of Windows 10, copy it to a USB drive.

On the Internet, it is not at all difficult to find various ways to record an operating system on a flash drive. Programs such as WinSetupFromUSB and UltraISO will help you transfer the operating system image to a flash drive.

Information on drive C

If you have installed Windows 10 on a new device, for any particular reason, you can skip this item and move on. There is special information on your laptop or computer that needs to be saved and then transferred to another hard drive. When a new operating system is installed, all information from the disk will be deleted and will not be formatted. In addition, you should transfer files from the “My Documents” folder, for example, to hard drive D, otherwise they will also be lost. A good option would be to copy all special information to a fixed flash drive. This guarantees safety.

Please: before starting the reinstallation, write down the size of the disk with unoccupied volume on your paper. This information will be kept handy during installation to ensure that you do not accidentally install the operating system on drive D. In this case, all data from the drive will be permanently lost.

Also, all important information has been transferred from drive C, so you can start installing Windows 10 from a flash drive.

Setting up for downloading the OS from a flash drive

To start installing Windows 10, you need to have a laptop or desktop computer with a flash drive. If you lose the original disk, you just need to insert it into the computer drive and restart it. The installation can start automatically after restarting. When the Press any key to boot from CD or DVD appears, you need to firmly press any key, then the operating system will appear installed.

  • The Boot Menu wiki is a smarter and simpler option. To restart the device, firmly press the Esc button (for Asus laptops and other models of possible compatibility). After this, a dialog box appears, where you need to select a USB storage device from your chosen operating system. Key combinations may vary among different laptop manufacturers. To close the Boot Menu, press F11, Esc, F12, F8.
  • When choosing to configure the BIOS, you must install the flash drive in the first place (or drive, depending on what kind of installation option you plan). Please note that the USB storage device must be connected to the device before entering the BIOS. The procedure may vary depending on the BIOS version of the device.

How to reinstall Windows 10 from a flash drive: Croc First

Once you start using the operating system from a flash drive, you need to specify the language, penny format, time and keyboard layout (or the method of entering data). Press the Next button in the lower right corner.

Click “Install” (pointed to the screenshot below).

On the front screen you will be prompted to enter the product key.

  1. The key is entered if the OS was purchased officially.
  2. If you previously installed Windows 7, 8 (8.1), the same license, with a key (not earlier than 11/12/2015), then you can try to enter it. The version of the system for installation may be imported from Microsoft after November 12, 2015.
  3. If the key is daily, select the corresponding button at the very bottom of the screen.

When recording to USB in two versions of Windows 10, for example x64 and x86 or Pro and Home, you will need to select one of them before installation. Press “Dali”

After this, please read and accept the license agreement. Read this please no – skin choice. In the box “I accept according to my will” you must carefully check the box, without which the installation will not proceed further.

After this you are prompted to select the selected installation of Windows. The first option (System update, in the screenshot below) is not suitable, since this article talks about installing the OS from scratch.

Where to install Windows 10: select the partition for installation

One of the most popular shortcuts. If all important information has already been copied from the hard drive, you can delete all partition displays. After this, all necessary sections are created again using the “Create” button. From the newly created sections, you need to select one to install Windows 10.

It is possible that Windows is already installed on the computer, and the partitions specified will be impossible to press on the one that corresponds to drive C. The size of the disk was previously recorded (we know the preparation before reinstallation), so knowing it is not important. If you are in any doubt, it is important to check the capacity of drive C again. Select the required partition, click “Format”, and then “Next”.

The names of the sections on the recorded screenshot may vary, and there may be fragments depending on the brand of the computer or laptop. The main focus is the size of the sections.

If the error is that the wrong partition is selected, then another system will be installed. When the computer is closed, you need to click on the name of the OS you are going to launch.

The appearance of pardons

A detailed description of the solution with the warning “It is impossible to install Windows on partitions...” can be easily found on the Internet. The solution options are presented as a comparison. For example, to avoid this situation, you can choose to select a flash drive without a UEFI signature.

File copying will continue as soon as a section is selected. You can follow the installation process by using the green checkmarks next to the appropriate point.

When the computer finishes importing data from the flash drive, the device will automatically re-acquire.

If the installation of Windows 10 was carried out from a flash drive and was installed through the BIOS, then only the computer will be re-enabled once the system is installed again. All necessary data has already been transferred to the device, so the flash drive can be removed from your computer or laptop. Then the device will be reinstalled again and will appear installed, and then removed from the hard drive.

Then the computer will be prepared for installation and adjustment of parameters. You will need to enter the key again. If the key is є, then enter it. If there is no option, select “Earn money later” (at the bottom left corner). Press "Dali".

The next step is to connect to a drone-free Wi-Fi network (as the radius has one). There are two options: create a login and password and register, or enter a login and password already during registration. If you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection and you can only create a local account, in this case you should skip this item (at the bottom left corner).

During installation, you can manually select various parameters using the “Setting parameters” button. How do you change the standard parameters? Select the second option – “Select standard settings”. What items include standard parameters are clearly described in the screenshot. It’s a good idea to get to know them.

After this, you need to create a special account record for the device. If you are connected to the limit, then we go to the Microsoft cloud account.


You can start installing drivers and all utilities. The advantage is that Windows 10 independently selects and installs almost all the necessary drivers. Unfortunately, this development option is rare. Installing drivers usually takes an hour.

Search for the drivers to print from the official website of the manufacturer and install some components (motherboard, for example). The only drawback may be the availability of Windows 10 drivers for a specific laptop model or other device.

With any sound system, you can easily find out all the relevant articles by further personalizing the Windows 10 interface.
