That, of course, requires you to already have Windows pre-installed and running. It is a Windows-based tool that lets you create bootable Windows flash drives.
One such popular tool for Windows is WinUSB. The process of installing a disc image on a flash drive is a bit more complicated but is made much simpler thanks to some third-party tools. You can’t just copy an iso file to a pen drive and expect to boot your PC using it though. But how exactly do you install a copy of Windows 10 downloaded online when you don’t have a disc? Well, that is easy if you make a Windows 10 bootable USB and here is how you can do that on Ubuntu.īecause even though you can download an operating system online, you do need a physical disc image to install it, unless you can network boot. Windows 10 too, has adopted the online distribution system. Like many other things today, you can buy your software online and forget about damaging your software disc. But there is something even cheaper than that and we call it the Internet. And it still is, apparently because distributing software on a CD/DVD disc is a lot cheaper than doing it via USB flash drives. There was a time when software came loaded on CD or DVD discs.
