Hey everyone, I've seen on YouTube a lot of videos explaining how to install Windows 10 through an USB pendrive /flashdrive. However some use Rufus Software to do something on the flash drive, others just format with NTFS (I think that's the name) and others just download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft and create a "USB FILE for other PC" and plug the USB flash drive.

Can anyone please explain to me the best way to install windows 10 through USB on another PC without OS.

THANKS ALL FOR THE HELP.

You don't need to format the USB stick. That will happen in the MediaCreation tool process.
And be sure there is nothing on that USB stick you wish to keep. It will be wiped out.
Do i need to use any third-party software!?
Now I think it is :
1st : Plug USB flash drive +8GB
2nd: Open Media Creation Tool
3rd: Select for other PC
4th: Create file to install through USB
5th' Plug it on the new computer
6th: Go to BIOS and change the Drive Boot to USB FLASH DRIVE
7th: Save and restart.
8th: PC will load the windows 10 installer and follow the steins through it.

Is everything correct? Did o missed something to do!? Do I need to format the USB flash drive previously? Thanks for the answer

Thanks for all the support! Just one more question : do I need to do something on the flash drive previously so I can use it as main boot option? Or is just select it on the BIOS and it will load normally?
 


Just select it in the BIOS or the startup quick menu/
