Yeah, is the USB drive formatted and cleaned properly through diskpart in CMD?? Also are you sure the drive is 4GB?

you got the iso file and use rufus to image it to the usb , minimum size of usb must be 4gb

 

[JenjerBread]

before wiping your system

please try rufus to image the windows 10 iso onto the usb flash drive and make sure that you actually select the correct drive before starting the process

It's an alternative tool for creating bootable USBs. That shouldn't be necessary though for this case. Additionally, are you using the Windows 7 media creation tool or the Windows 10 media creation tool?

He doesn't need to use Rufus, the media creation tool will do it for him. If he has a program that can do it for him already why get another?

Generally speaking, Rufus technically is better. However that being the case, even then, the Windows media creation tool should work fine for this.

That's the Windows 10 media creation tool. Very strange that an issue like that would be occurring... Hmmmm...
