    New videos coming out twice every month!
    For anyone who can’t successfully split the file, you can use this link to get a zip containing the split files: drive.google.com/file/d/1Fnpl1jZm7YxyzrfwmiaJv3W1X-QU0xUe/view?usp=share_link. Just copy the files inside onto your USB after formatting and it will be bootable.

    OMIGAWD! I was trying everything, with no success, and losing sleep and getting crazy trying to create this bootable Windows 10 USB from my Mac to have a way to resurrect my husband's recently demised Lenovo (following the most recent Windows update--Thanks, Microsoft!). Your instructions were VERY clear, easy to follow, and even though I had a bit of a time installing Homebrew (totally on me and my sleep deprivation), I got it to work and created the Windows 10 bootable USB. All thanks to you, Theo! I am subscribing and singing your praises on social media!

    Hi theo, i am almost crying happy tears YOUR VIDEO WAS THE ONE!! You have no idea the misery i have been through for the last 3 months because of all the troubleshooting, blogs, tutorials, chatgpt etc. I have been looking forward to see the Windows installation window for soo long, losing sleep, and I almost gave up on my Lenovo Legion, but i searched one last time and found your video - and i’m glad I did.
    With the help of my mac and your clear steps, I’m finally able to factory reset my laptop. Thank you so much for making this video, and I wish you nothing but success and happiness. So young but so bright i’m impressed🙏🙏
