Windows Usb?

[AlmondRocca]

I am building a new desktop and i've checked that all the parts are compatible with windows 10 but I cant find a way to boot into windows without a CD/DVD player. I've heard that there are usb's that you can boot into but I cant find one from any other source than ebay. Please give me a link to the usb or if im stupid just tell me there is no usb.

Go on their website and follow instructions for the tool to install ISO on USB.

you can configure any usb to be a windows installation drive, however you still need the original disc or ISO to make the usb using microsofts USB DVD TOOL
you also need the correct windows for the windows 10 key i am assuming you have..
(just o clarify, Windows is not free and is not freely available to download unless you have a product key or choose to use it for the test period of a couple of days, yopu can't just download it to a usb, you need to get the correct ISO from microsoft, or even better have someone rip your original windows disk for you

Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC (click to show more or less information)

Follow these steps to create installation media (USB flash drive or DVD) that you can use to install a new copy of Windows 10, perform a clean installation or reinstall Windows 10.

Before you download the tool make sure you have:

• An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
• Sufficient available data storage for the download, on a computer, USB or external drive.
• A blank USB flash drive with at least 5 GB of space or blank DVD (and DVD burner) if you want to create media. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will be deleted.
• When burning a DVD from an ISO file, if you are told the disc image file is too large you will need to use Dual Layer (DL) DVD Media.

Check a few things on the PC where you want to install Windows 10:

• 64-bit or 32-bit processor (CPU). You’ll create either a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows 10. To check this on your PC, go to PC info in PC settings or System in Control Panel, and look for System type.
• System requirements. Make sure the PC meets the system requirements for Windows 10. We also recommend going to the PC manufacturer's website for additional info about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.
• Language in Windows. You'll need to choose the same language when you install Windows 10. To see what language you're currently using, go to Time and language in PC settings or Region in Control Panel.
• Edition of Windows. You should also choose the same edition of Windows. To check which edition you're currently running, go to PC info in PC settings or System in Control Panel and look for Windows edition. Windows 10 Enterprise isn’t available in the media creation tool. For more info, go to the Volume Licensing Service Centre.
• Microsoft Office products. If you just purchased a new device that includes Office 365, we recommend redeeming (installing) Office before upgrading to Windows 10. To redeem your copy of Office, please see Download and install Office 365 Home, Personal or University on your PC. For more information, check How to upgrade to Windows 10 on new devices that include Office 365.

If you have Office 2010 or earlier and choose to perform a clean install of Windows 10, you will need to locate your Office product key. For tips on locating your product key, check Find your Office 2010 product key or Enter the product key for your Office 2007 program.

Using the tool to create installation media:

1. Select Download tool now and select Run. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
2. If you agree to the licence terms, select Accept.
3. On the What do you want to do? page, select Create installation media for another PC and then select Next.

4. Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) for Windows 10. This table will help you decide which edition of Windows 10 you’ll choose:

   Your current edition of Windows	Windows 10 edition Note: If you have an N edition of Windows on your PC, choose the N equivalent of Windows 10 for creating installation media.
   Windows 7 Starter  Windows 7 Home Basic  Windows 7 Home Premium  Windows 8/8.1  Windows 8.1 with Bing  Windows 10 Home	Windows 10 Home
   Windows 7 Professional  Windows 7 Ultimate  Windows 8 Pro  Windows 8.1 Pro  Windows 8/8.1 Professional with Media Centre  Windows 10 Pro	Windows 10 Pro
   Windows 8/8.1 Single Language  Windows 8 Single Language with Bing	Windows 10 Home Single Language
   Windows 8/8.1 Chinese Language Edition  Windows 8 Chinese Language Edition with Bing	Windows 10 Home China
   Windows 10 Home	Windows 10 Home
   Windows 10 Pro	Windows 10 Pro

5. Select which media you want to use:
   • USB flash drive. Attach a blank USB flash drive with at least 5 GB of space. Any content on the flash drive will be deleted.
   • ISO file. Save an ISO file to your PC, which you can use to create a DVD. After the file has downloaded, you can go to the location where the file is saved or select Open DVD burner and follow the instructions to burn the file to a DVD. For more info about using an ISO file, see the section below entitled Additional methods for using the ISO file to install Windows 10.
6. After the installation media is created, follow the steps below to use it.
