WIndows 10 DVD to USB tool?

[Hyperman3218]

I am building a new PC soon and it won't have an optical drive. I bought Windows 10 in DVD format and I want to move it to a USB flash drive with another PC that has an optical drive. Is there an online tool for this (preferably from Microsoft) or will I have to do something else. If so could someone explain to me how I would do it? Thank you in advance

Well your first step would be to make an ISO of the DVD:

Once you have the ISO I suggest using Rufus to create a bootable flash drive as it has the best success:

That is what I did, well I downloaded the IOS and bought a key but used Rufus to make the bootable USB as the Microsoft tool was being a PITA.

All what you need to do is to format the USB flash using Fat32 , and then just copy the DVD into the flash. it will boot.

you dont need any software or any special program.

just copy paste the DVD into the FLASH After formatting it Fat32

you can get the iso by downloading them direct from Microsoft. and then use your key. if you need more help , please ask.

Yes, there is an alternative to installing Microsoft Windows (pretty much any version since XP) over the LAN. One application that comes to mind is Serva, but it costs money. I'd suggest going with a USB flash-drive instead as it'll cost less. Personally, I recommend using XBoot (free) because it allows you to write to a pen-drive various ISO images and select from them. This means less hassle (usually), as the USB drive can essentially be turned into a software swiss-army-knife.

Whoops, I forgot to place a link to XBoot -- d'oh!

The OP is not asking for a utility USB make but a way to make a Windows 10 bootable USB for installation.
