FAT32 WIN 10

[imstrik3r]

Hello there, correct me if i am worng but i know UEFI can t read NTFS usb drives and i want to install win 10 on my UEFI bios, but win 10 has more than 4gb and u can t copy more than that of one single file in FAT32, so what should i do to be able to boot windows from a usb stick on my UEFI bios? Also the Microsoft USB WIndows Creator thing automaticly formats the usb into an NTFS..

If you're talking about the Media Creation Tool, then it's fine. If anything, it gives the USB stick NTFS drivers so that the system can read the contents.

1) Format the usb drive to FAT32

2) Extract the contents of the Windows 10 ISO using something like WINRAR

3) Copy EVERYTHING you exrracted onto the USB dtive

4) Reboot, mash your boot menu key and....

5) Boot

 

Or use a tool like RUFUS or Microsoft's official Windows 10 downloader.

I tried it but it gets to Creating USB media tool at 50% and then this error pops out everytime, searched it and didn't find anything.

Not true, flash drives MUST be FAT32 for UEFI. It simply extracts the contents of the ISO onto the drive.
