How to create bootable USB using Command Prompt – Easy Steps

Here are the steps you need to follow:

• First of all, open Command Prompt. Most noteworthy is that you need to open the command prompt with Administrator rights. Validate the UAC prompt, if asked, to carry on.
• Once you open the command prompt with Administrative rights, type “diskpart” command to open the disk partitioning software.
• Then, to reveal the list of attached physical storage media type list disk command. As a result, this will show all the HDDs, SSDs, USB drives and so on.
• Identify the disk number of the USB drive you are using for this process (Tips: look at the size column for easy identification; based on my experience, it is usually listed last).
• In the same way, type “select disk X” command to select it, where “X” is the disk number of your USB drive.
• After USB drive is selected, now type “clean” command to erase the contents of the USB drive.
• Next task is to create a partition where we’ll be installing Windows Setup files. For this type “create partition primary” command.
• Similarly, type “select partition 1” command to select the previously created partition.
• Another important command is “active” command, as a result of this command the partition will be appeared as active, or validated.
• We are almost done, but before that we need to format the partition. Type “format fs=ntfs quick” command to format the said partition as NTFS, using the Quick routine. However, we can also use Fat32 as partition type.
• Finally, type “assign” command to assign a drive letter to the USB drive. Afterwards, it will show up as a drive under My Computer.
• Ultimately, copy the extracted contents of the Windows 10 ISO to the USB drive.
