I just finished building my new pc. Im moving from an old mac. Now I need to install windows 10 so I can start actually using my pc lol. My pc does not have an optical drive, I have already bought windows 10 OEM key.

First question, can I use a SDHC card that one of those usb adapters (i figured it would be the same thing as usb.

second question, I looked online and i guess there is supposed to be a media creation tool download from microsoft that will let me move the necessary data to my usb/SDHC? but i dont think i can download it because im on a mac.

How do i setup my usb/sdhc to install windows on my pc using a mac?

You need to do this on a PC the tool is not available and won't work on a Mac. Do you have a friend who has a PC you can use?


watching other people on youtube, they seem to have an option like this:

but it does not give me this option, instead i have to download this iso file, but i dont know how to use, it looks like this:

I dont have a pc in my house, and most friends are mac users too, ill try going to the library lol
Thanks!

 
were you able to run the media creation tool (seeing you are on a mac)?

Should be a step in that process where you insert the USB, it burns the .iso to the USB (wipes all files on the drive, creates bootable drive).
