Windows 10: ISO to USB - how it works

If you want to install the new Windows 10 operating system on more than one device, you can save yourself the time of downloading by creating a USB stick. Not only is the process easy to accomplish, but you can also refer back to the stick at any time.

How to make a USB stick with ISO

Once you have the right software, you can transfer your ISO files to a USB stick, turning it into a bootable item.

• Rufus: The program excels in effectiveness and speed, but has a sophisticated user interface.
• WinUSB: For all Windows installations, this program is ideal because no more formatting must be done by you.
• Unetbootin: This program is free and harmonizes with all popular operating systems. However, it is not as fast and efficient.
• WinSetupFromUSB: Especially if you want to create a bootable stick to install the Windows 10 operating system, this program is the right choice.

Install the program that meets your needs and follow the on-screen instructions to transfer the ISO files to your USB stick. When doing so, make sure that you use a stick that offers at least 8 GB of storage space.

Store the stick carefully

Make sure that you store the bootable stick with the ISO files for Windows 10 carefully so that you can refer to it at any time. By keeping the stick, you will have the opportunity to install Windows 10 on any computer that is compatible with this operating system.
