On this or other PCs I have to write it's not a good stick. You must use the tools noted by others or just use the Microsoft Media Creation Kit and answer the question about "This is for use on another PC". I may have that question mangled a bit so roll with it and make it with the Microsoft kit.
I just tried this a few days ago and it did not ask me for a serial number or CDKEY. Some claim it does but here it does not on my Windows 10 laptop.
Here is my first post re my problem:
Hello All, Would really appreciate some help.
Windows 10 was installed free on my laptop last year. I never asked for it it just arrived. A few weeks ago I noticed that somehow my pc had reverted back to windows 8??????Anyway, it was working ok so I just left it. Now my laptop has crashed and I would like to do a reinstall of the free windows 10. I have been in safe mode this morning and saved all personal files and folders to a disk. I don't seem to be able to get onto the net even though I selected option of safe mode with internet.
I am not techy at all and have tried to find this answer through youtube etc but so much information out there I am confused.
I believe I can download windows 10 to my USB stick and do it that way?? How and where? Also, as the windows 10 I had orginally installed itself free I have no product code or anything like that.
Please can someone help me?
I've had replies and implemented them. I have had to keep starting a new thread as the laptop I am using to find information to fix my own laptop also has issues and does nothing at all when I click on either 'answer' or 'reply'.
So where I am at now is I have a USB stick which now contains the OS. I have changed boot order on my laptop to pick up the USB first but it does not seem to be doing this.
R PROFFITT asked me if the USB stick was ok on any other PC (sorry I did not see this question first time round - I'm not used to forums where there is a new title for the thread with each response and only read main body of the reply).
I changed the boot sequence on this other person's laptop I am using to pick up the USB stick first to see what happened. It just shows me a black screen with white writing which says BOOTMGR missing...does this mean there is a problem with my USB drive?
