One of the most technical aspects of installing Windows 10 on your laptop or computer PC is
creating a bootable USB drive.
If you are going to install Windows 10 on your device, you’ll have to go through the
process of creating a Windows 10 bootable USB drive.
For most of the people, creating Windows 10 bootable USB is a complex process.
However, you don’t need to worry as I’m here to guide you with the step by step process
of creating Windows 10 bootable USB drive.
Hey everyone, Rahul here from TechReviewPro and welcome back to another tutorial where
you’ll learn how to create Windows 10 bootable USB.

we regularly bring cool tips-tricks, tutorials, and reviews.
Now without wasting any more time, let’s jump into the tutorial.
In order to create windows 10 bootable USB drive.
We need three things- A USB pen drive minimum of 8GB storage, Windows 10 iso file and a
utility Tool for making the pen drive bootable.
First, we need to download the Windows ISO file, to do so go to the link in the description
below or even you can also search for the windows 10 iso file in google and follow the
Microsoft official website.
Once you are on the official download page.
You’ll get an option to select the edition which you want to download.
Click on this dropdown menu and select the version which is suitable for you.
The first one is October 2018 update while the second one is April 2018 update for Windows 10.
I would recommend you to choose the latest version, but if you want you may also select
this one.
Now click on confirm, this will load another option on the same page.
The new option is - for selecting the language.
Click here and choose the language.
Here I’ll select English because that’s my preferred one, but if you have any other
language as preferences, you can select that.
Now click on confirm for the confirmation.
On the next page, you need to be careful, first ensure what are the hardware configurations
of your system.
If your system supports 32 bit then select 32 bit otherwise if your system configuration
is 64bit then select 64bit download option.
Now select the location where you want to save that Windows 10 ISO file, I’ll prefer
to save it on the desktop since this will make it easy to find out the iso file in further
steps.
Alright, we have already downloaded the Windows 10 ISO file, and in order to proceed with
the next step to creating a bootable USB drive, we need to download a utility tool which is
required to make the pen-drive bootable.
There are many free as well as paid utility tools for creating bootable USB, but we are
going to use UNetbootin in this tutorial.
I prefer this because it’s free, easy to use and cross-platform as well - which means
its available for Windows, Mac as well as Linux.
However, if you prefer other utility tools for creating a bootable USB you may use other
as well, the process is similar.
I'll leave a link in the description below for some of the handy alternatives to UNetbootin.
First, download and install UNetbootin as per the Operating System you are using on
your system.
Now we need a USB thumb drive with at least 8gigs of free storage.
Before proceeding further I highly recommend you to ensure that, you have backed up all
the data that was available in the USB drive because this will wipe all the data which
was previously stored into your USB drive.
Okay, after you have completed all the process, let’s jump into the next step.
Plug in the USB drive and Go to the file location where UNetbootin was downloaded, in order
to open the application, double click on the file, here a prompt will appear, click on
yes to allow the installer to run the program.
On the next screen, select DiskImage and choose ISO as the DiskImage type.
Click here and browse the Windows 10 ISO file which we have downloaded earlier.
Since I have saved it on the desktop so I will go to the desktop and now I will select
the ISO file.
From the drive menu choose the USB which you want to make bootable, here I have inserted
only one USB but if you have inserted more than one then make sure you are choosing the
right one.
Now click on ok.
This will start creating your Bootable USB pen drive.
This may take 10-20 minutes as per the writing speed of your pen drive.
I will fast forward this….and come back when the process will complete.
Alright, now the process is completed.
Congratulations!
Now you have your own Windows 10 bootable USB Thumb-drive.
You can use it to install Windows 10 wherever you want.
Simply, plug in the USB on the Laptop or computer which you want to clean install and follow
the boot steps for installing Windows 10.
So that’s how you can create Windows 10 bootable USB drive.
