Install Windows 11 with just your phone

In this video I'm showing you what to do if you need to install Windows 10 (or Windows 11) but don't have access to another PC or laptop. If you've just built yourself a new gaming PC and don't have access to a spare machine for downloading the Windows installation media this can be a real pain. But there is actually a solution which means you can use your Android phone instead of a PC. It unfortunately means you have to spend a little bit more money, but it's not a massive cost and it's certainly easier than trying to source a new PC.
Here I'm showing you the steps for installing Windows 11 with just your phone and a USB adapter or alternatively with an SD card (yes that's an option too which is nuts). I've done this because people kept asking what they could do and I wanted to show it was possible.
You will need to Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO) for x64 devices from here www.microsoft....
You will also need this ISO2USB app - play.google.co...
The app is free but you'll have to pay a small amount for coins in order to install the ISO file on your USB Stick.
You'll also need both a USB thumb drive that's at least 6GB in size and an OTG adapter. Or alternatively you can use an SD card and the Anker adapter I showed in this video.
The process is then fairly straightforward, you just need to download and installed the ISO file using the app to your USB drive. It will take quite some time to do unfortunately, but once it's complete, plug it into your PC and begin the installation process for Windows.
Once the first pass has completed and your PC restarts, remove the dongle and let the installation run on your PC. Then connect to the internet and finish with all the updates.
If you get stuck it might be because you are running more than one drive in your system. To avoid problems go into your BIOS by mashing F2 or DEL on your keyboard when you've restarted your PC. Then in your BIOS look for the settings for boot priority. Check that the thumb drive is the 1st priority and everything else is disabled.
