How can i create a bootable usb drive for windows 10 install?
Using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to create bootable usb drive for Windows 10 is generally a reliable and straightforward method, but there are a few potential disadvantages or limitations to consider:
1. Requires Internet Connection:
The tool needs to download the latest Windows 10 ISO, which can take time depending on your internet speed. If your connection is slow or unstable, it may prolong the process.
2. Limited Customization:
The Media Creation Tool create bootable usb drive for Windows 10. If you want to include custom drivers, pre-installed software, or specific configurations, this method doesn't support that directly.
3. Single ISO Version:
It downloads the latest Windows 10 version, which may include updates or features you don't need. If you want an older version or a specific build, you'll need to find alternative sources.
4. No Support for Multiple Editions:
The tool generally downloads the edition matching your current system license. If you need a different edition (e.g., Windows 10 Pro vs. Home), you might need to manually select or modify the ISO afterward.
5. Hardware Compatibility:
While rare, some older hardware may have compatibility issues with the latest Windows 10 version created via the tool, especially if BIOS/UEFI settings aren't configured properly.
