Hello,
It's taking a long time for Microsoft to roll out the Windows 10 upgrade to my current laptop, so I wanted to ask if I can create a bootable 64bit Windows 10 install thing on a 8GB USB stick via the Microsoft Media Creation tool. Is that possible or will it have to be larger than just 8GB? Because I only have a 8GB USB stick and don't have the money to get a larger one with. Can someone please let me know if it will work with a 8GB USB stick?
Thanks in advance.
good day Darkwater409 no your 8 gig flash drive will be more than large enough. just plug it in and start the media creation tool. i suggest besides creating your media that you also download the iso.
If one were to use that downloaded iso would it not have to be activated by a purchased Win10 license?Quote:

I went through that whole procedure but alas, it was too late, MS had already cancelled their genuine free key and blocked it being accepted.
I don't really feel like installing on hardware again, pretty happy with my activated VirtualBox, just wondering.
Shemhamforash i honestly can't say cause i did a clean install on hardware. i'd suggest going to https://www.tenforums.com/forum.php
Some of those guys do know exactly how the restrictions for licensing work.Quote:

When you do the upgrade from a previous Windows version, you still have the configuration options to "clean install" once you are in the desktop environment. People might want to use that who have upgraded.
I just used an 8gb usb stick the other day with the win8.1 creation tool and worked great... but how will you activate?Quote:
