    1.) Dumb question, but do you always need to change the boot order in your BIOS or within Windows to the USB flash drive or can you just plug the flash drive in and restart? I could have sworn this actually worked for me once.

    2.) There seems to be different steps to install Windows if you're on UEFI or Legacy.
     
    a.) Legacy involves setting the boot order to your USB flash drive within the BIOS?
     
    b.) UEFI involves setting the boot order within Windows 10
    Settings --> Update & Security --> Recovery --> Restart Now

    Then: Troubleshoot --> Advanced Options --> UEFI Firmware Settings --> Restart --> Set boot order to start from the USB media.

    3.) How do I know for sure if using UEFI/GPT or Legacy/MBR? I can set my boot to Ultrafast, so I assume UEFI/GPT?

    4.) With the Media Creation Tool I guess if you download Windows 10, you can use it to select Windows 10 Pro with it? 
     
    5.) Does MS ever make changes to the media creation tool? Like if I were to put it on a USB flash drive today and I only need to use it like a year or two later am I fine to use it or am I going to want to put a newer version on my flash drive? 

    6.) Does anyone here use Rufus on a USB? I think I had to use it once because the MS Media Creation tool wasn't working and Rufus downloads an ISO to create a bootable USB flash media from?
