Hi, I wanted to put Windows 10 on a USB stick. I've installed all the necessary stuff, and when I get to the point where I need to select a USB flash drive, it says "We can't find a USB flash drive," even though the drive is connected, it is 16 GB and I've formatted it to NTFS. I don't understand, if you could enlighten me, that would be nice :)

Hello,

NE JAMAIS UTILISER CETTE MÉTHODE !

To install Windows on a USB stick, you need to download it in .iso format and then deploy the iso onto the USB stick.

If you find the process complicated, let me know and I will guide you through the steps.

Hello skid9000, can you explain to me the steps to follow to install Windows 10 using your method? Thank you in advance.

Hello,

in the DL setup instead of choosing "USB device blablabla" you need to select "ISO file"

Then with a software like "Rufus" or "Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool" you deploy your ISO file onto your USB key ^^

I specifically created an account to warmly thank skid9000. After using the MS tool provided and going through dozens of attempts, I ended up giving up, as the installation ended at best on a blinking cursor. Out of despair, I installed Linux, but being dissatisfied with the ergonomics, I wanted to try installing W10 again. This time, the MS tool had a bug (not recognizing the USB key, which wasn't the case the first times), so I looked for an alternative and stumbled upon this thread.
1. Rufus test: the latest version crashes when choosing a location for the ISO
2. Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool: complete installation on the first attempt.

Thank you so much, you are saving my life (well... that of my PC :)

Hi, what do you mean by deploying the ISO file onto the USB stick?
