Usb Bootable Software For Windows 10 Free Download Full Version

[Georgina Garding]

TheWindows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) and Windows PE add-on has the tools you need to customize Windows images for large-scale deployment, and to test the quality and performance of your system, its added components, and the applications running on it. The Windows ADK includes:

The 32-bit versions of Windows PE are no longer included in the Windows PE add-ons starting with the ADK for Windows 11, version 22H2. The last supported version of 32-bit Windows PE is available in the Windows PE add-on for Windows 10, version 2004.

If possible, use the ADK version that matches the Windows version you're working with. If your environment has a mix of Windows versions, use the ADK version that matches the latest operating system in your environment.

If you're working with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, see Support for the Windows ADK in Configuration Manager to learn about the versions of the Windows ADK that you can use with different versions of Configuration Manager.

After downloading and installing the Windows PE add-on for the Windows ADK, either update the Windows PE add-on once, or create bootable Windows PE media and apply Windows update to the Windows PE media. For a comprehensive guide on how to customize a Windows PE boot image, including applying cumulative updates, see Customize Windows PE boot images.

Windows ADK contains core assessment and deployment tools that IT Pros can use to deploy Windows 10 company-wide, including the User State Migration Tool (USMT) and Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT).

I am trying to install Windows via Boot Camp Assistant on my Mid-2014 MacBook Pro Retina, but it's only giving me the option to install Windows 10. It assumes I want Windows 10 and doesn't give me any other options.

I don't have anything against Windows 10, in fact, I was planning on installing it, but apparently I need to have 50GB of free space on my SSD before Boot Camp Assistant can even begin doing its thing.

So I talked to a friend who has Windows on his MacBook Air, and he told me that he has a 30GB partition and that Boot Camp Assistant never asked for more than this, but he installed it a long time ago (probably on Lion, or Mountain Lion) and he uses Windows 7.

Apple has recently dropped support for windows versions less than 10 on macOS sierra. I believe select macs can be "tricked" into booting, but I am stuck a bit as well. I did find these online posts that could help. I posted a similar question in case this gets figured out and you can then see the answer there.

Boot to windows 7 usb (or disk if your mac is before 2011) using mbr boot (not efi because the bootcamp software is expecting an MBR install). Some drivers also don't work for EFI windows installs yet, especially graphics.

Boot into mac os and download the windows 7 bootcamp package FOR YOUR DEVICE (if there isn't one, you may not be able to have backlight, keyboard / mouse support like mac os does - but should have basic drivers). Other devices may not show up correctly, such as the "coprocessor" and other apple unique devices.

Install this software when booted into windows. You may need to modify a config file or trick the MSI installer to run. There may be a "NOCHECK" command line parameter to pass to the MSI. This link says more: Bootcamp support software on unsupported hardware

My next steps are to fix the partition / boot info on the physical drive, so it sees my windows partition on the "option" menu at boot up and as a startup volume. I'll update with any progress I make.

P.S. : To clarify, my original goal was and I think remains, what's apparently called a "LiveUSB" boot device (with ample storage. To that end, I got a 2TB removable data storage device ("WD Elements")

Dual boot means that you install two or more different operating systems in separate partitions along with a compatible bootloader e.g. grub. When the system boots you select which O/S you want to boot from the grub menu. So, yes, you have to shutdown one O/S to boot the other.

Alternatively, you can use virtualization products, e.g. VMWare or (freeby) VirtualBox to run a base system with other operating systems "virtualized" in separate containers. This environment allows you to start and stop "guest" operating systems on the platform without stopping the others and just hot-keying between them.

Thank you. To reply, practically, if I could load and open the Linux distruibution at boot-up, I'd expect it to become my mainstay of routine use--though I'd occasionally refer to MS-Windows if and when no better

alternatives exist. Ideally, I'd find no further need or use for Microsoft--no offense intended to those here

who are fans.

Still, so far, at system boot, no options are offered or available--without some intervention on my

part which I've not known to invoke. Yes, I'd take the opportunity to use some VM ware but,

having also tried to find, install and load/initiate it, that hasn't succeeded either.

I even tried to implement Microsoft's own dual-boot system (in a prepackaged box, so to speak)

but that, too, did not resolve the core obstacles. I'm looking for, if one exists, a kind of key-chord

initiated boot-up option which displays the dual boot choice which then loads upon being

selected--apparently the job of the Grub program but I'm not using it correctly since no such menu comes up. I'm part-way there but settings are still not complete and working as described in the

tutorials. I also installed a Grub program. I haven't found how it's invoked.

So, indeed, we are talking a dual boot configuration. So you need, right at the start, to decide which disks and/or partitions you are going to install with which operating system. Get that clear in your mind.

You don't usually "install" Grub independently but rather the installation of a Unix/Linux distribution will install it as its bootloader. It's just the software between a system hardware BIOS and handing control to a O/S. It has no other function apart from perhaps letting you choose which O/S to boot and from which partition.

The problem that we all live with (and it is a serious one) is that Windows as it installs thinks that it is the "only show in town" and wants to install its own Windows bootloader, commandeer all free disk space, etc. So many times we have Windows installation overwriting Grub thereby screwing up a Unix/Linux boot sequence.

Generally, Unix.Linux installation routines are more considerate than Windows and will prompt whether or not to install Grub, will usually look for other previously install O/S's and take them into account. Therefore, I think it is generally safer to install Windows first, and Unix/Linux second.

There is, however, a very handy free utility called Supergrub (or Supergrub2 for V2) that you can download and burn to a CD/DVD. Always have this in your toolbox. If you know that you have two O/S's installed on different partitions but something has screwed up Grub, then you can boot from that CD/DVD and it will search for O/S's, reinstall Grub if necessary, and allow you to configure a dual boot menu.

At this point, I fear for the C:\ capacity. There remains less than 5MB of space on the C drive.

Plenty of capacity on the WD Elements USB external drive, however. Yesterday, I downloaded the full

Ubuntu documentation (and I think I did the same for the XUbuntu version) so I suppose I have

a lot of reading ahead. Thank you for your follow up.

Could someone here help me step-by-step create and use the Hyper-V virtual machine function? I've tried following WIndows' users' guide to setting this up. Each time, there's an intermediary step--rather early in the process--where a reboot is called for. As a result, I find myself starting all over from scratch.

I did, however, in the process, open the Windows "turn on or off" features and activated the Hyper-V options and saved the settings. So, in some form or other, I suppose that there is some Hyper-V functionality at least theoretically available to set-up/open/use.

That's where I am and where I'd like to find some assistance from the reader audience. I'm much prefer to avoid if possible more or new cumbersome and space-eating downloads of yet more programs, packages, with their dependencies, unless, that is, I may be advised of those already downloaded for this udertaking which could first be removed as redundant to the proposed other downloads.

If you have a dedicated drive to install Linux on, then this should (in theory, at least) make your dual boot setup relatively simple. I've not personally done a dual boot install for many, many years now, but from some quick research this evening it seems the general picture hasn't changed too much. The order of events typically goes something like this:

It's important to install Windows first, since its boot loader is not at all Linux friendly, and will happily clobber GRUB (or whatever other boot loader you're using) and lock you out of your Linux system until you fix GRUB by one means or another.

Note that the above advice specifically applies to systems using legacy BIOS mode. For modern UEFI systems, any OS's you install should (again, in theory) register themselves with UEFI at installation time, and your computer should by some mechanism let you choose between them at boot time. I'd probably still go with Windows first and Linux after, just to be safe, but a UEFI system should make dual booting even easier - again, in theory.

Of course, if you want to play it as safe as possible, then download something like Oracle VirtualBox and set up a Linux VM whose hard drive and other contents live on your dedicated external drive. If you're running low on space on C: and can't do the Windows Subsystem for Linux approach as a result (which would be the easiest thing of all), then a Linux VM is definitely the next best thing, in terms of safety.

But you'll still need more than 5MB free on C, that's for sure - and indeed, if you really truly only have 5MB free on C:, then stop what you're doing, and do nothing else until you've got that situation sorted out and under control. Windows does not like running entirely out of space on its C: drive. You ideally want a few gigabytes free at least, at all times, depending on the size of your C: drive, of course. A good first place to start would be to run the Disk Cleanup utility in Administrator mode, which should let you remove old Windows update files, leftover Windows versions from previous upgrades, all manner of temporary files, and plenty else besides.
