Nice video. Just a few points. 1. Fast Boot setting IS important. It should be disabled (or partially disabled), Fast Boot means it won't poll for bootable USB devices on boot so it won't see your USB drive. All three of your systems had it disabled. 2. On some BIOSes you have to set a BIOS Master Password before the Secure Boot option is visible. Once you set the password, you can disable Secure Boot and then clear the password by pressing ENTER when setting a new password. This saves you forgetting what the password was 6 months later!
This was EXCELLENT from start to finish (Production quality, information, commentary, user-setup variables etc). One of the best techie how-to videos I've seen in a long time. THANKS!
Thank you, Thank you!! Just used your video to get an older Win10 laptop up and running. This was very helpful and easy to follow!! Appreciate you and the effort to make this video!
You individuals doing tutorials run through like it's a race. You don't take into consideration that people watching your tutorials aren't up to speed with the tech procedures you're using... WHICH IS WHY THEY NEED TUTORIALS! And, the faster you go, the quicker you lose them!!
I'm so confused, you go through all of this work then when youre selecting partitions you are installing windows not on the usb but on an empty harddrive already on the computer thats 256 gbs. I was trying to find a way to launch windows from the usb to try recovering data on harddrive in computer...
Thank you very much my friend. I bought a Lenovo laptop and couldn't figure out why flash drive won't show in boot menu till I figured that apparently laptops don't come with legacy bios anymore but only uefi or whatever so I used your guide to create a uefi Bootable flash drive by Rufus. So thank you so much.
At 7:43 you recommend using a USB3 drive, however many computers won't support USB3 (even though they have a USB3 port) until 'after' they fully boot up. That is because many computers can't load USB3 drivers through the UEFI (BIOS for us old guys) and must wait for 'startup'. Therefore using a USB2 device, albeit slower, is more universally accepted. Just as older computers did not support the use of the mouse while in UEFI (or 'BIOS'), the same is true of USB3.
Just to add, mine acer 3 A315-21 laptop due to not compatible with Window 10 20H2 it cant boot from USB. I had to revert to Window 10 1909 to make it bootable from USB. Thank god able to get previous window 10 iso from RUFUS. It will great help, if can have video on steps to download window 10 version via Rufus.Thanks.
...but if you make a bootable Windows install in iso format, can it save files? Can you install apps into that Windows & change its configuration such as installing network drivers and customizing the network configuration?
@@Phobos1483 oh okay thanks for the reply. My issue is not being able to get it on my ssd now. I think it’s corrupted after me stupidly changing the partition from MBR to GPT. Gonna test by buying another usb to at least hold windows and try to maybe fix the ssd. Problem is I can’t boot from anything when I plug it in
I can not access to the bios. Samsung laptop np300e5v. My mistake I tweaked some setting now I do not know how to reset the bios. I removed the bios battery 🔋 but nothing. Any help
@ ~12:58 my uefi partition doesn't have a letter. only the other larger partition has a letter. the 'UEFI_NTFS' partition appears above the larger partition in the volumes tab and in the disk management gui (create and format partitions) there are two partitions showing instead of the one in the video with 'UEFI_NTFS' located after (to the right of) the larger partition. does that mean the uefi partition is partition 1? i am using windows 10 22H2 OS Build 19045.1865 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0 I used rufus 4.3.
Sir! thank you very much for saving me. I build a pc and I was worry that I was not going to get it pass bios, I have had the pc for 2 weeks now, I was going back and forth with other videos and this video just save my butt. If it didn’t work for you. Try taking off the raid mode from the simple setting(copy every single stuff that he do). Thanks again sir!
I GET TO WHERE YOU SHOW ON THE FIRST TWO MOTHERBOARDS BUT INSTEAD OF LOADING INTO THE WINDOWS SETUP I SEE THE WINDOWS LOGO FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS THEN THE SCREEN GOES BLUE AND IF I MOVE THE MOUSE IT SHOWS THE MOUSE CURSER ON SCREEN NOTHING ELSE anyone know why i get this ive tried several ways to see and nothing stops the blue screen
I booted up my Windows USB installer, I deleted all the partitions on my 256GB M.2 drive, I then had "Drive 0 Unallocated Space" as you did in the video, I then clicked next, and Windows installed, when I booted into Windows, in disk management, my drive 0 shows a 300MB EFI partition, and then a C: boot partition.. no Recovery partition is at the end of the drive. I then ran diskpart, and my Drive 0 has 3 partitions, a 300MB System partition, a 16MB reserved partition, and finally a 238GB Primary partition.. their is no Recovery partition. What am i doing wrong ?
I can’t thank you enough! I haven’t built a computer in 15 years so I’m a bit rusty. Using a USB is so much faster easier and cheaper. Putting all this together with the different system bios too, wow! Thank you again for your hard work!
I think you should make it clear that you are installing Windows 10 on your computer's HDD. I believe Rufus also enables installation on the external flash drive itself using Windows to Go option. A flash drive of at least 32GB would be needed in this case. Otherwise it was a very clear explanation.
Ain't it easier you just *Make your own video* instead of editing this guy's ? This is what ruins YT , I know ,majority verdict know what he's doing ,you always get one , seriously dude,put your own 'How I boot / put W10 on a Iso via Rufus ! Thanks m8, great video 🇬🇧🙏
One of the best instructional videos that I have viewed on youtube. Easy to follow, easy to understand what the presenter is saying, and it worked great. Wow, I'm looking at the comments now and I'm echoing others' comments. Great Job.
The guy isn't even knowledgeable about dosk part you don't even have tou ise Rufus to format the flash drive disk part should list the usb as a volume then choose the volume and then use format fs=ntfs/quick or FAT32
Sorry, I made a mistake. I should have said that I followed your video tutorial about creating a Windows 10 bootable USB on Mac from ISO. Can anyone help?
This video helped me massively. I am using an Alienware M17 R3 and it was a pain in the.... Just to get it to boot a USB stick but this man just saved me. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
i have tried many things on an asus l510m and nothing works , follow your steps and the usb boot doesnt work , stays in the asus loading screen with the loading circle going around and stays for and long time and ends uo going into bios , any ideas?
Those artifacts at 22:45 came on my laptop's display during the setup was booting but instead I got some white horizontal lines on bottom but after sometime the windows 10 installer shows like normal. Shall I consider this as a issue.
You forgot to mention that you don’t even have to disable secure boot if you’re using the latest version over 3.17 which is 4.3 as of today secure boot isn’t even secure boot
hi everyone I am i have the media creation tool downloaded on a usb drive yet when I try to go to the download option it doesn't say download on a usb it says I need to clear up 8GB of space and there is no other options. It just gives me a close button. any advice?????
I got to the Where do you want to install Windows part and deleted all partitions and after I chose my drive 0 unallocated space, it said Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install windows, restart the installation. Help me I don't what to do
I followed your steps exactly for using diskpart to clean my flash drive and now my computer no longer sees the drive once it's inserted and I have no idea why
i got the rufus bios error doing this, even when i was able to do a install by using media tools but i still had no key board or mouse function to pick and option.
I have been trying to figure out how to enable the UEFI and reinstall everything for weeks. I just happened to find you, and I did it in less than a couple of hours. Thank you for a great tutorial.
Wow, what an excellent video, thank you for taking so much time to put this all together I'm 75 yrs. old, but following your instructions I know I can do this. My fairly new desktop crashed and burned on me and the MSI tech who worked with me told me I needed to fix my OS, as he could not find it. I am hoping that when this USB is finished I can get my computer back running again!!!!:)
Hi, I have been struggling with this all day, I can boot from a usb and install windows onto my M.2 NVME SSD. It installs files on there but at the end of the install stage, after it restarts the PC the Windows Boot Manager is not available. I only have the option to run the USB again. I'm in UEFI mode. I am able to see the SSD after I switch the CSM mode but it just says "NVMEetcetc" and not Windows Boot Manager. Do you have a solution that might help me? Much appreciated
After inserting the bootable USB and starting the PC in boot menu, the only one option was given was, "USB General USB Flash Disk 1100". I was not able to select the UEFI_NTFS partition as you did since it did not appear. The PC just locks up and does nothing. This is a 2012 Toshiba Satellite P775 with a BIOS, not UEFI.
For a Free clean Windows USB install Just type in Microsoft Windows 11 or 10 in your search bar then choose Microsoft Windows 10 or 11 , Uu'll find the setup for a USB copy , It's a Free , Clean & Easy , Very fast install , No need to waste time & download the Rufus Tool , There is no reason or need to , There are other RUclips videos How to do it without the Rufus Tool for a lot less time & Steps to do.
this video is meant for the uefi version. like he said, the normal microsoft tool has legacy mode too etc. with rufus u can download the uefi version only
Hi, I just wanted to mention that RUFUS took 2 hours to create the bootable drive on the USB 3. Downloading the iso took a couple of minutes to my pc. I have a I gig internet connection. Is there a reason why RUFUS took so long? Thanks
Some of the USB 3 flash drives are really cheap inside. The read speed is very fast, but the WRITE speed to the type of memory these use is usually V-----E-----R-----Y S-----L-----O-----W for large files like the ones used for a Windows install.
Hello Sir. Great explanation! However, i found myself stuck. When Rufus finished the creation of the bootable usb, i went to Disk Management and found in volumes that my UEFI_NTFS has no (*letter*:). Theres only written UEFI_NTFS When i try to boot up on the usb ive created, it therefore doesnt let me choose between the two partitions that im supposed to have What can I do?
Some mobos have natively ntfs support in UEFI mode so in the boot menu shows both partitions (and you can choose either one, it will have same result) But the most of the mobos doesn't have natively NTFS support in UEFI mode and shows only one partition (the fat32) and you have to choose that one and it will work. That's the whole point of that technique.
Sorry bros you try good to show something but your not professional how I can see,you go by narration does not know the problems that can occur during installation. just 1exp(they are many) boot priority ALWAYS put UEFI and Legacy because many beginners will stuck during installation 32 bit system that need to bootable from legacy and will never come to boot previous installed OS if something goes wrong..
I followed your amazing video tutorial to the letter, but when I tried to install Windows 10 on my PC, the following message appeared on the screen: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks." Can you help me?
22:49 The effect is not because of the recording. . I have that as well, it stayed on my screen for about ten seconds and really SCARED ME OFF when i see them. i guess i’d fxxk the power cable out if i didn’t press CONTINUE on your video at the next moment, because I am staying up whole night doing this full of errors. its so smooth to follow with your video, You also solved the NTFS problem i encountered.. while i was still stupidily trying to force the FAT32 on REFUS..... such a sense of solace and relief to follow with your video, you solved all my problems thank you absolutely it's a perfect video!!!
I'm former 22 year I.T retired. I recently learned of you. I decided to check out this video. Do you always use the long way of doing things? Not all viewers know about a command prompt. You had Explorer opened. You could have plugged the USB in... opened the USB and clicked "Select All" and click "Delete" to delete the contents. I think you use the command prompt to increase your skill at using the syntax.
Hello. I must be doing something wrong. Your video is very clear and precise and lots of people have left great comments of how it worked for them???? This did not work for me. I got to the part where the HP laptop saw the sub stick with the UFI files on it but that was it. It did not give an option to select anything other than the drive itself. It did not show the 2 partitions (which are on the usb. I checked as you did to confirm they were all there.) I selected the usb stick hit enter and just got a black screen for a while then I got a selection of coloured dots that almost looked like sets of Christmas tree lights. Nothing else happened and no options came up on my screen. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong or if something else needs doing? Sorry for all the questions but this laptop is doing my head in. IT should be straight forward to install windows 10 on an SSD and put it back into the laptop and hey presto.....usually it works with no issues. This time......it's really not having it. Thank you for any help you could offer. Regards Darren
Hello, My question is why do I have to use Rufus to create a USB bootable media with the Windows 10 ISO file when I can directly download the Windows 10 ISO file directly from Microsoft's website? Thank you.
Thanks for the video, super useful. I have to reinstall Windows 10 on a 2014 Dell Inspiron laptop, it came from factory with windows installed in UEFI mode, the problem is it won't respond to F2 F12 (or any other F for that matter) in UEFI mode, but after switching to legacy mode, F2 and F12 started working again... is that behavior normal? thanks.
"ERROR the specified procedure could not be found" This is what i get from rufus. Tried different flash disks. Stuck then - I realize maybe Rufus Version 3.14 causes this error on Win7. I have Downloaded your version(Older 3.11), worked like charm. Thanks
Great...6 hours trying to install win 10 on SSD from USB key with many attempt...finally I knew that bootable USB created with Windows Creation Tool doesn't BOOT in UEFI mode!!!! Thank you so much (and thank you to Rufus team too😂)
Thankyou very much.. Just to add a point where he had already showned it in the video.. I was having a hard time on the exact issue with a new HP15-dy2703dx. As he said, Rufus really does the trick and we have to make sure to disable secure boot option. Cheers mate.. Thanks for the video.
Excellent tutorial. I did the same thing with an external SSD 500Go insteed a key on my PC with windows 7. All my disk were mechanic disks. So my old PC with an I7 procesor and an external SSD is runing faster now with Win 10. I have still only 8 Go RAM but I am really happy with the results . With pour video I understood the secure boot problem. Many many thanks for your help !!! . Great quality your moovie . I will follow you on RUclips from France where I live👍👍👍.
nice video...i thought you might help....mines a little bit complicated.. just so you know -i am using Macbook 2009 model and i only use windows 10 (NO Mac OS). i am presently using windows 10 LTSC (which is less then 4 gb) and my entire hdd is NTFS. obviously i have NO bios on this machine, so i cannot use secure boot disabled option also now, i want to install windows 10 enterprise which is 5.33 gb and as per your video with Rufus its not working. GPT is equal to FAT32 (i.e 4 gb limit). My iso file is 5.33 gb so FAT32 is out of question. by default it takes as NTFS. In NTFS it does NOT boot, whereas in FAT32 it boots. pls crack this for me...would appreciate...thanks...
I couldn’t get my MSI laptop out of a reboot loop due to the MSI factory reset tool erasing OS and trying to recover it using the wrong disk. Eventually erased all disks trying to repair the boot directory using command prompt. Finally decided to do a fresh download of windows but the BIOS wouldn’t download it in UEFI mode only Legacy mode which was limiting my system. After finding this in depth guide you have gotten me much closer than anyone else has. I accidentally downloaded the 32 bit which my bios then informed me it was searching for a 64-bit OS file, I’m downloading that and giving it another shot! 🤞 fingers crossed that it will work. Thanks so much for helping understand partitions disks and bios much better.
Congrats for your nice video. I have a question for you. I m follwoing every step but when I try to boot from the usb, it stucks at the Verifying DMI Pool Data
Nice video. Just a few points.
1. Fast Boot setting IS important. It should be disabled (or partially disabled), Fast Boot means it won't poll for bootable USB devices on boot so it won't see your USB drive. All three of your systems had it disabled.
2. On some BIOSes you have to set a BIOS Master Password before the Secure Boot option is visible. Once you set the password, you can disable Secure Boot and then clear the password by pressing ENTER when setting a new password. This saves you forgetting what the password was 6 months later!

One last question. Should we turn secure boot back on??
You're very welcome!
Yes. Turning on secure boot after installation would be best. If it doesn't work, you can always disable it again.
I think you should make it clear that you are installing Windows 10 on your computer's HDD. I believe Rufus also enables installation on the external flash drive itself using Windows to Go option. A flash drive of at least 32GB would be needed in this case. Otherwise it was a very clear explanation.

For a Free clean Windows USB install Just type in Microsoft Windows 11 or 10 in your search bar then choose Microsoft Windows 10 or 11 , Uu'll find the setup for a USB copy , It's a Free , Clean & Easy , Very fast install , No need to waste time & download the Rufus Tool , There is no reason or need to , There are other RUclips videos How to do it without the Rufus Tool for a lot less time & Steps to do.
this video is meant for the uefi version. like he said, the normal microsoft tool has legacy mode too etc. with rufus u can download the uefi version only
excelent video. making windows 10 installer completely... thx
Getting error:
Failed: Could not locate 'efi\ boot\ bootx64.efi error
Hi, I just wanted to mention that RUFUS took 2 hours to create the bootable drive on the USB 3. Downloading the iso took a couple of minutes to my pc. I have a I gig internet connection.
Is there a reason why RUFUS took so long?
Thanks
Some of the USB 3 flash drives are really cheap inside. The read speed is very fast, but the WRITE speed to the type of memory these use is usually V-----E-----R-----Y S-----L-----O-----W for large files like the ones used for a Windows install.
I want to install windows pro, but I do not get the edition choosing option so I got the home edition instead. What do I do to get pro edition????
Hello Sir. Great explanation!
However, i found myself stuck.
When Rufus finished the creation of the bootable usb, i went to Disk Management and found in volumes that my UEFI_NTFS has no (*letter*:). Theres only written UEFI_NTFS
When i try to boot up on the usb ive created, it therefore doesnt let me choose between the two partitions that im supposed to have
What can I do?
You can use disk management to assign drive letters to your drives. I think that may help.
Some mobos have natively ntfs support in UEFI mode so in the boot menu shows both partitions (and you can choose either one, it will have same result) But the most of the mobos doesn't have natively NTFS support in UEFI mode and shows only one partition (the fat32) and you have to choose that one and it will work. That's the whole point of that technique.
Sorry bros you try good to show something but your not professional how I can see,you go by narration does not know the problems that can occur during installation. just 1exp(they are many) boot priority ALWAYS put UEFI and Legacy because many beginners will stuck during installation 32 bit system that need to bootable from legacy and will never come to boot previous installed OS if something goes wrong..
I followed your amazing video tutorial to the letter, but when I tried to install Windows 10 on my PC, the following message appeared on the screen: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks." Can you help me?
22:49 The effect is not because of the recording. . I have that as well, it stayed on my screen for about ten seconds and really SCARED ME OFF when i see them. i guess i’d fxxk the power cable out if i didn’t press CONTINUE on your video at the next moment, because I am staying up whole night doing this full of errors. its so smooth to follow with your video, You also solved the NTFS problem i encountered.. while i was still stupidily trying to force the FAT32 on REFUS..... such a sense of solace and relief to follow with your video, you solved all my problems thank you absolutely it's a perfect video!!!
I'm former 22 year I.T retired. I recently learned of you. I decided to check out this video. Do you always use the long way of doing things?
Not all viewers know about a command prompt. You had Explorer opened. You could have plugged the USB in... opened the USB and clicked "Select All" and click "Delete" to delete the contents.
I think you use the command prompt to increase your skill at using the syntax.
Hello. I must be doing something wrong. Your video is very clear and precise and lots of people have left great comments of how it worked for them???? This did not work for me. I got to the part where the HP laptop saw the sub stick with the UFI files on it but that was it. It did not give an option to select anything other than the drive itself. It did not show the 2 partitions (which are on the usb. I checked as you did to confirm they were all there.) I selected the usb stick hit enter and just got a black screen for a while then I got a selection of coloured dots that almost looked like sets of Christmas tree lights. Nothing else happened and no options came up on my screen. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong or if something else needs doing? Sorry for all the questions but this laptop is doing my head in. IT should be straight forward to install windows 10 on an SSD and put it back into the laptop and hey presto.....usually it works with no issues. This time......it's really not having it. Thank you for any help you could offer. Regards Darren
Hello, My question is why do I have to use Rufus to create a USB bootable media with the Windows 10 ISO file when I can directly download the Windows 10 ISO file directly from Microsoft's website? Thank you.
Thanks for the video, super useful. I have to reinstall Windows 10 on a 2014 Dell Inspiron laptop, it came from factory with windows installed in UEFI mode, the problem is it won't respond to F2 F12 (or any other F for that matter) in UEFI mode, but after switching to legacy mode, F2 and F12 started working again... is that behavior normal? thanks.
"ERROR the specified procedure could not be found"
This is what i get from rufus. Tried different flash disks. Stuck then - I realize maybe Rufus Version 3.14 causes this error on Win7. I have Downloaded your version(Older 3.11), worked like charm. Thanks
Great...6 hours trying to install win 10 on SSD from USB key with many attempt...finally I knew that bootable USB created with Windows Creation Tool doesn't BOOT in UEFI mode!!!! Thank you so much (and thank you to Rufus team too😂)
best video
Thankyou very much.. Just to add a point where he had already showned it in the video.. I was having a hard time on the exact issue with a new HP15-dy2703dx. As he said, Rufus really does the trick and we have to make sure to disable secure boot option. Cheers mate.. Thanks for the video.
Excellent tutorial. I did the same thing with an external SSD 500Go insteed a key on my PC with windows 7. All my disk were mechanic disks. So my old PC with an I7 procesor and an external SSD is runing faster now with Win 10. I have still only 8 Go RAM but I am really happy with the results . With pour video I understood the secure boot problem. Many many thanks for your help !!! . Great quality your moovie . I will follow you on RUclips from France where I live👍👍👍.
The best but I need more ti to make 100% best soft hehehehe thanks for the video bro.
Remove USB bootable before restarting then install completes?
nice video...i thought you might help....mines a little bit complicated..
just so you know -i am using Macbook 2009 model and i only use windows 10 (NO Mac OS).
i am presently using windows 10 LTSC (which is less then 4 gb) and my entire hdd is NTFS. obviously i have NO bios on this machine, so i cannot use secure boot disabled option also
now, i want to install windows 10 enterprise which is 5.33 gb and as per your video with Rufus
its not working.
GPT is equal to FAT32 (i.e 4 gb limit). My iso file is 5.33 gb so FAT32 is out of question.
by default it takes as NTFS. In NTFS it does NOT boot, whereas in FAT32 it boots.
pls crack this for me...would appreciate...thanks...
I couldn’t get my MSI laptop out of a reboot loop due to the MSI factory reset tool erasing OS and trying to recover it using the wrong disk. Eventually erased all disks trying to repair the boot directory using command prompt. Finally decided to do a fresh download of windows but the BIOS wouldn’t download it in UEFI mode only Legacy mode which was limiting my system. After finding this in depth guide you have gotten me much closer than anyone else has. I accidentally downloaded the 32 bit which my bios then informed me it was searching for a 64-bit OS file, I’m downloading that and giving it another shot! 🤞 fingers crossed that it will work. Thanks so much for helping understand partitions disks and bios much better.
That Ark: Survival Evolved background tho nice
Congrats for your nice video. I have a question for you. I m follwoing every step but when I try to boot from the usb, it stucks at the Verifying DMI Pool Data
