The following command is what I used to flash the WindISO to my USB stick (be sure to get the correct device name for your USB – this command will wipe it). One of the files in the image is larger than 4GB, which requires using NTFS on the USB disk. Running the GUI simply doesn’t work, as more command-line options appear to be required. There is an alternate way, using a project called woeusb. You may encounter the same issue I did: I don’t have Windows installed yet! The only official way to create USB-bootable Windows media is to use the “Media Creation Tool” on Windows. However, while Linux ISOs are typically multi-boot images (files that can boot both CD and USB, on both BIOS and UEFI machines), it appears Microsoft has not leveraged that knowledge. With years of experience creating bootable linux USBs, I did the standard thing: $ dd if=Win10_1809Oct_English_圆4.iso of=/dev/sdX You could burn it to a double-sided DVD, but I don’t even own a computer with an optical drive currently. Microsoft has seen the light and provides ISO downloads of the current version of Windows (Note: This is not a “free” Windows license – you still need to pay for that, or install on a machine which has been previously licensed).Īctually using that ISO is not quite straight forward. It was a pain, and prone to cause problems (mainly because you could slipstream other things in there, too). Back in the day, you’d have to slipstream updates into your installation media. Getting updated Windows media is certainly easier than it used to be. ![]()
