    FAQ's:
    Q: What kind of USB do you use?
    A: I usually use a 26GB USB like the one seen here: www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey/...
    Q: Can I use my phone instead of the USB?
    A: I have never tried using a phone to get Install Media before. I dont think I would risk my phone that way as in order to create the Install Media, the USB is usually formatted and all DATA is erased.

    At the end of the video, when you're formatting the USB, RUclips recommends the next video & blocks part of the screen where you would see you formatting the drive. As it is, i can not see what you're formatting the drive to. Whether it is NTFS or exFat etc. Pls let us know.

    When the install options come up on the other laptop, it has "Update" (amongh other things in that box), but my laptop gives the message that "updating" is not an option and it will not load. I have forced the USB boot from the BIOS, but I can't get passed that "Update" box. The laptop had 10 Pro on it and just faded out one day. It does respond to BIOS commands, but will not load Windows. I can only save the ISO file as a web link, so that doesn't work and it won't load from the Cloud either. I was doing nothing special when it failed; it just faded to black. Any ideas?

    I had a Lenovo computer with Windows 8 on it. The hard drive went bad or at least I was not able to get it to work. I got a new hard drive but did not have any recovery tools to reinstall Windows on the new hard drive. In bios, I did see the Windows license number and did write it down. Any advice on getting Windows 8 put on the new hard drive. I hate to throw the computer away since it was fairly new and I had had no problems with it before it crashed. I believe the screen went black and I tried everything to get it back up. After trying to get the computer black screen to work without luck, I took out the hard drive and transferred all my data on to my current laptop so I would not lose my files. Then a reformatted the old drive, hoping to be able to reuse it. The old hard drive was not usable for some reason, so I bought the new hard drive. It seems that the bios was not booting up the new hard drive because it kept wanting to boot on a USB or DVD. I was getting frustrated with it. I watched one of your videos and was able to clear the bio to boot on what I want but the computer is not recognizing any Windows in which to boot up. Any advice. Sorry this is so complicated.

    So, if a hard drive dies on my laptop and I buy a new one to replace it, when trying to put win 10 on it, do I have to initialize the new hrd drive? If so, how do you do that without Windows? Or does Windows automatically do that for the hard drive that you are putting Windows on? It's been a long time since I've put a new hard drive in a system but last time I did it I had to go into Windows management and initialize the hard drive so that the PC could recognize it. I assume any new drive that you are installing Windows automatically does that for you or am I wrong?
