Installing Windows 10 Pro from a USB stick - no luck

[itsonlydanny]

Hi,

Just tried installing Windows 10 Pro 64-bit from a USB stick (Patriot Supersomic Rage 32GB) - but no luck. Yes, I altered the 'boot priority' settings but that does not appear to have helped. I currently have a dual-boot setup, with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and Windows XP Home 32-bit. Fairly obviously, I want to scrub the ancient copy of XP and replace it with Windows 10. I used Rufus software to 'burn' Windows 10 to the USB stick, seemed which to go absolutely fine.

Yes, true, my motherboard and chip are a bit old too - Intel Core2 Duo E6750 with an Abit IP-35 Pro motherboard and 4GB of RAM (ie, Corsair Twin2X2048 XMS Xtreme Performance 800mhz). Any ideas?

Thanks,
DANNY

Follow this guide in order to create a bootable USB installer.

Furthermore,

...Note: The USB drive should be minimum of 4GB. Also, many users have reported issues with 8GB SanDisk USB drives, complaining that the Media Creation Tool doesn’t detect them.

Do as I do and simply create a folder on your drive and then copy all of the ISO's files in there then double-click setup.exe.

The IP35 Pro XE will not boot from a flash drive. Suggest you run windows 7, upgrade to 8, then 8.1 and then install Windows 10 from 8.1.
