Hello,

I had just built a new rig and I needed to download windows 10 on a different pc and put the USB on my new rig. Pretty normal until my USB was not being recognized by the creation tool as a destination where I can download windows 10, it was only giving me the option to make space and download it on my hard drive in my laptop. If anyone can help me determine if something is wrong with my laptop or what, please let me know, thanks

Could it be related to the format the usb stick is using?  Might need to be fat/fat32 or something.

I have it in fat32 but I'll try just fat. I have a hunch that my laptop doesnt like USB 3.0 if that has anything to do with it
