How can I download or make Windows 10 bootable USB for reinstall?
UNet bootin is a popular tool primarily designed for creating bootable Linux USB drives, but it can also be used to make Windows 10 bootable USB for reinstallation, though with some limitations. Here’s a general overview of how you might use UNet bootin for this purpose:
First, you would need to download the Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft's official website. Once you have the ISO, you can open UNet bootin and select the option to create a bootable USB drive. Instead of choosing a Linux distribution, you would select “Diskimage” and browse to the location of your Windows 10 ISO file.
However, it’s important to note that UNet bootin isn’t specifically optimized for Windows ISO files, and sometimes it might not create a fully bootable Windows installation USB. For the most reliable results, tools are often recommended because they are specifically designed to handle Windows ISO files and ensure the USB is properly prepared to make Windows 10 bootable USB for reinstallation.
While you can attempt to use UNe tbootin to make Windows 10 bootable USB by selecting your ISO file, it’s not the most recommended tool for this task. For a more straightforward and reliable process, consider using dedicated tools.
