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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
So yesterday I struggled all day with my PC's issues; I done all that I could from hard drive checking to ram checking and even checked things that I know wasn't the problem just in case and after a long time of fails and struggling I was ready to just give up and try the next day until I found this video and I felt obligated to say to you Thank You! The full tutorial and word for word explanation on using Terminal and creating this bootable USB. I am on the PC typing this because you deserve a LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!
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!!!!:)
You are a lifesaver... I just bought a Predator Triton 300 with only a UEFI boot option. I couldn't for the life of me figure it out until I saw your video. Thanks a ton!
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...
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.
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. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
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.
Amazing , I just used this to create a windows 11 boot on a laptop that would not let me install windows 10 using my purchased official windows 10 key fob using EUFI , I had to keep using legacy. But now I can now finally use EUFI. Thank you dude
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!
Thank you so so much. I spend hours in youtube before finding thta video, but it was worth it. Clear and FULL instructions, understandable and with very good articulation. Can't thank you enough!
@ ~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.
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😂)
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.
Ty! Great video. This solved the Windows 11 secure boot requirement. After installing this version of Windows 10 it checked off the box. Much appreciated
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 TH-cam from France where I live👍👍👍.
Finally someone like you helped us and understand us what is the point how to understand the roots before solving the boot problems Thank you brother appreciate what you have done for all of us my Allah Reward you 👍🏻🙏🏻
I replaced a HDD on my laptop and installed windows 10 by myself. This is something i have never done before. I was able to do all of that just in a day by watching videos on TH-cam.
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!
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.
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 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
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
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
...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?
Fantastic!! Thanks so much for making this. I ran into a different error with every other video I attempted, and this provided a great end-to-end solution for me. Thanks again, subscribed
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 🇬🇧🙏
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?
Your explanation was crystal clear as a beginner I have learnt a lot in this tutorial..Finally I can install Windows10 on my laptop by myself. Thank you so much for sharing such a great information on how to install Windows system on the new computer .I can't wait to see more of your videos with a great explanation..
Any help: With the windows setup screen the partion options do not display I understand before enter the window I need to enter the boot menu however the case for my laptop when holding the boot menu key [F8] the boot menu is skipped and I’m taken straight to the windows set up screen. To note: The D and E drive are labeled E and F (not sure if this is problematic)
Laptops can be tricky to get to the boot menu. You may try to enter the BIOS and you may be able to select the boot option from there. Try to do some more research on your laptop to see if anyone else has had luck booting from an external drive. The drive letters probably do not matter.
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.
It is not the same. The Windows Explorer method works sometimes. If the USB flash drive is "messed up," the Windows Explorer method will not work correctly. The Diskpart method will always work unless the drive is completely broken and unusable.
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 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
Thanks for the content. I'd tried previous methods to create a boot disk but yours, using the bootloader, seems to be the only one that worked for me. However, when deleting all those partitions @23:24, and clicking next, I get the following error "Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install Windows, restart the installation." I've of course restarted and tried several times with the same result. I see others have posted in the comments here about the identical issue. I have a Asus B450-I Gaming MB, Ryzen 3700x. I wonder if anyone has a solve for this one?
Thanks for the comment, as you gave me some more information on the issue. I would love to see this error in person, but here is my guess. The partitions are deleted, but the disk is MBR format. This is why Windows 10 cannot continue as it is set up for UEFI only and doesn't know what to do with an MBR formatted disk. Removing the partitions does not remove the base format. After deleting the partitions, try the Format option and format as GPT. If you need to choose a file system, choose NTFS.
@@hometechadventure4462 Appreciate the reply! I followed your other video making a bootable USB on a mac (coz I'm on one). I figured your command list: diskutil list diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 UNTITLED MBRFormat /dev/diskN and diskutil eraseDisk ExFAT WIN10INS GPTFormat /dev/diskN would have my USB in a GPT format as opposed to a MBR. Is that not the case?
Yes, your USB will be in GPT format, but the drive you are installing window on may still be in MBR format, even after deleting all of the partitions. This is why you may need to Format the drive you will be installing windows on to get past the error.
@@hometechadventure4462 Thanks for keeping the conversation going. I'm eager to learn about this one. My USB is in GPT format. (The 1Tb NVME used to be a hackintosh with Catalina. I'm trying to go back to windows.) I hit F10 during the win10 setup to bring up terminal and used diskpart to format that drive to GPT too and returned to the Win install but still no joy. I've ordered a NVME USB-C enclosure so I can pull it from the PC, stick it in my mac and make sure its formatted correctly! I'm determined not to let this error win!
@@Nate-qc8kb Hey Nate , Im having the same issue let us know what you end up finding out. I have tried on both a sata ssd and m.2 drive and can't get either to work. Ive played with every setting that I can think of. Im using a ryzen 5 3600 , b450 tomahawk max mother board. Ive gotten to get it all the way to finalizing the install but end up getting the "windows could not prepare..."message. The next option for me is going to a friends place and making a brand new boot drive on a windows pc.
Great tutorial sir but I face a problem. I don't see the UEFI_NTS partition. I only see the ESD-ISO partition for my USB in Disk Management (13:23 of this video). Could you guide me ? I would be really thankful.
Solved it. It was there but it would just not show up in Windows, I don't know why. In the UEFI Boot Options, it did show up and I installed the UEFI Windows version successfully.
"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
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
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.
You can also change the user agent on your browser. Making it act like it is visiting the windows downloader website on a mac for example. Then you can download the .ISO's without a has
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?
Great video, very informative, thank you. The only thing I'd like to add is for newer HP laptops like mine there's also a known issue of the Intel Optane memory getting corrupted or due to a hardware issue which doesn't allow this bootable USB to recognize the hard drive. Therefore you have to include the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) drivers for the specific laptop within the boot USB so it will see the hard drive during the recovery process. The use of the Rufus utility seemed more effective than HP's own system recovery process so I appreciate you having shared this video.
Thank you . I have watched other videos but yours was very excellent . Everything told was step by step . For a beginner this detailed video is great . And also the different bios 👍
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.
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!

Yes. Turning on secure boot after installation would be best. If it doesn't work, you can always disable it again.

Your explanation was crystal clear as a beginner I have learnt a lot in this tutorial..Finally I can install Windows10 on my laptop by myself. Thank you so much for sharing such a great information on how to install Windows system on the new computer .I can't wait to see more of your videos with a great explanation..
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????
Thanks! I've learned a lot from this video. And the best part is, it worked.
can this method work on MacBook Pro released late 2013
Like a Dad helping you with homework. At no point does he leave you behind. It is virtually impossible to miss a step in the process.
Any help:
With the windows setup screen the partion options do not display
I understand before enter the window I need to enter the boot menu however the case for my laptop when holding the boot menu key [F8] the boot menu is skipped and I’m taken straight to the windows set up screen.
To note:
The D and E drive are labeled E and F (not sure if this is problematic)
Laptops can be tricky to get to the boot menu. You may try to enter the BIOS and you may be able to select the boot option from there. Try to do some more research on your laptop to see if anyone else has had luck booting from an external drive. The drive letters probably do not matter.
@@hometechadventure4462 my issue is now that the partions do not show as I go to install
Hi how are you sir my laptop coming msg select GPT partition installation can I same steps following my laptop installation window
HI, HOW DID YOU CAPTURE THE BIOS RECORDING ?
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.
Thank you for the video. Why do you clean the drive with Diskpart? Isn't the same to delete or format in Windows Explorer?
It is not the same. The Windows Explorer method works sometimes. If the USB flash drive is "messed up," the Windows Explorer method will not work correctly. The Diskpart method will always work unless the drive is completely broken and unusable.
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 ?
22:40 Same broken effects when i tried to format the pc. I think something wrong with the iso file. Do you have any solution for this ?
I don't think it is a problem. I think this is an artifact of the bootloader and is nothing to be concerned about.
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
Thanks from the start to finish I really understand it
Please can you show us how to install kali linux as a main OS? It tells me your disk is likely fail soon after installing it.
You are master! The best guide on the web :)
Thanks for the content. I'd tried previous methods to create a boot disk but yours, using the bootloader, seems to be the only one that worked for me. However, when deleting all those partitions @23:24, and clicking next, I get the following error "Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install Windows, restart the installation." I've of course restarted and tried several times with the same result. I see others have posted in the comments here about the identical issue. I have a Asus B450-I Gaming MB, Ryzen 3700x. I wonder if anyone has a solve for this one?
Thanks for the comment, as you gave me some more information on the issue. I would love to see this error in person, but here is my guess.
The partitions are deleted, but the disk is MBR format. This is why Windows 10 cannot continue as it is set up for UEFI only and doesn't know what to do with an MBR formatted disk. Removing the partitions does not remove the base format. After deleting the partitions, try the Format option and format as GPT. If you need to choose a file system, choose NTFS.
@@hometechadventure4462 Appreciate the reply! I followed your other video making a bootable USB on a mac (coz I'm on one). I figured your command list: diskutil list diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 UNTITLED MBRFormat /dev/diskN and diskutil eraseDisk ExFAT WIN10INS GPTFormat /dev/diskN would have my USB in a GPT format as opposed to a MBR. Is that not the case?
Yes, your USB will be in GPT format, but the drive you are installing window on may still be in MBR format, even after deleting all of the partitions. This is why you may need to Format the drive you will be installing windows on to get past the error.
@@hometechadventure4462 Thanks for keeping the conversation going. I'm eager to learn about this one. My USB is in GPT format. (The 1Tb NVME used to be a hackintosh with Catalina. I'm trying to go back to windows.) I hit F10 during the win10 setup to bring up terminal and used diskpart to format that drive to GPT too and returned to the Win install but still no joy. I've ordered a NVME USB-C enclosure so I can pull it from the PC, stick it in my mac and make sure its formatted correctly! I'm determined not to let this error win!
@@Nate-qc8kb Hey Nate , Im having the same issue let us know what you end up finding out. I have tried on both a sata ssd and m.2 drive and can't get either to work. Ive played with every setting that I can think of. Im using a ryzen 5 3600 , b450 tomahawk max mother board. Ive gotten to get it all the way to finalizing the install but end up getting the "windows could not prepare..."message. The next option for me is going to a friends place and making a brand new boot drive on a windows pc.
Great tutorial sir but I face a problem. I don't see the UEFI_NTS partition. I only see the ESD-ISO partition for my USB in Disk Management (13:23 of this video). Could you guide me ? I would be really thankful.
Solved it. It was there but it would just not show up in Windows, I don't know why. In the UEFI Boot Options, it did show up and I installed the UEFI Windows version successfully.
Thank you sir a great guide. my computer is now up and running because of you
Great man with Great work. Love and respect from India 🙏
Sir, you’re a true legend. Thank you so much.
"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
Thank you Home Tech you saved my computer! Your video was very clear and easy to follow.
Thanx man awesome tutorial, the only thing I would point out is my computer bios settings looked nothing like any of yours.
Every time I try to use Media Creation Tool it send me error ''There was a problem running this tool, Error code 0x80080005 - 0x90018''
Thorough explanation. I learned a lot from this
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
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.
You can also change the user agent on your browser. Making it act like it is visiting the windows downloader website on a mac for example. Then you can download the .ISO's without a has
Worth subscribing your channel, well explained and keep it up. Thank You
hallo I am installing win 10 but cant enter the setup
it crashed and displaying some lines on the bottom of the screen
I want to upgrade from wins 7 where do I go ty
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?
Is it normal if it says [ B|InitializeLibrary failed 0xc00000bb ] when you finish setting up the bios and you run it
Great video, very informative, thank you. The only thing I'd like to add is for newer HP laptops like mine there's also a known issue of the Intel Optane memory getting corrupted or due to a hardware issue which doesn't allow this bootable USB to recognize the hard drive. Therefore you have to include the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) drivers for the specific laptop within the boot USB so it will see the hard drive during the recovery process. The use of the Rufus utility seemed more effective than HP's own system recovery process so I appreciate you having shared this video.
Thank you . I have watched other videos but yours was very excellent . Everything told was step by step . For a beginner this detailed video is great . And also the different bios 👍
So nice of you
Man, This was awesome and worked perfectly! Thank you!
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.
I admire your complete explanation as very well.
