Windows 10 from a USB?

Ripull

Hey, I wanted to make a bootable USB for Windows 10 to update multiple devices.

The reason is because I have slow internet and downloading it for one machine at a time will take forever.

 

I want to ask quickly does the download here for creating the bootable USB ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 ) work for updating machines, or just for new machines aka. first time installs?

 

Thanks, and sorry if it's been asked already, but this forum here is quite active today.

So it isn't going to format files?

I'm getting the same problem, well, the first time I got "something has happened"

Now it wont give me anything, I go to install it on a flash drive (and I've tried two different ones) and it'll show loading for a split sec, then just close out of the program and nothing is on my flash drive.
