Use this option and download Media Creation Tool if you want to create bootable USB media to perform a clean install on new or existing hardware. To get started you first need a license to install Windows 11 or have a Windows 10 device that qualifies for an upgrade to Windows 11.
To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 11. You can then download and run the media creation tool. For more information on how to use the tool, see the instructions below.
I am currently learning windows 10 deploy. I have Microsoft Deployment toolkit update 2013 update 1 installed. When I try to import operating system, system tell me can not find install.wim in windows sources. I did some research found out that current windows 10 home/pro installation media comes with install.esd instead install.wim. Is there anyone know to to extract install.wim from install.esd. I have looked at few ways online, none of them working.
You can get the WIM file from any media other than the Media Creation Tool download (or Windows Update). You could also use the Media Creation Tool installation media on a virtual machine and then Sysprep and capture from that VM.
Use the media creation tool to download Windows. This tool provides the best download experience for customers running Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. Here are a few useful guides we've written to guide you in the process of reinstalling Windows, all of these use the Media Creation Tool for different purposes:
The tool will guide you through the process and present the options and files you might need to get the best installation experience. If you're not sure which files are required to install Windows 10, this tool is your best option.
Before you install Windows 10, check to make sure your PC meets the system requirements for Windows 10. We also recommend going to the PC manufacturer's website for any additional info about updated drivers and hardware compatibility
Follow these steps to create installation media (USB flash drive or DVD) you can use to install a new copy of Windows 10, perform a clean installation, or reinstall Windows 10. Before you download the tool make sure you have:
When installing a fresh copy of Windows 10, you typically use a USB flash drive to launch the "Windows Setup" wizard to continue the installation process. However, on a device that has a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) instead of the legacy Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), it is crucial to use the correct media for the firmware type to complete the installation successfully.
On Windows 10, you can use at least two tools to create a bootable USB flash drive. You can use the Microsoft Media Creation Tool to download the files onto a removable drive with support for both firmware types (UEFI and legacy BIOS). Or you can use Rufus, a third-party tool that makes it easy to create a flash drive to install Windows with support for UEFI.
Once you complete the steps, the Media Creation Tool will download the files and will create a bootable USB flash drive that you can use to install Windows 10 on computers with support for UEFI and BIOS.
If the Media Creation Tool does not work or you do not want to use it, then you can try Rufus, a popular free third-party tool that allows you to create an installation media with support for UEFI devices. The utility offers two ways to make the installation media, including using an existing ISO file or downloading the image from the Microsoft servers directly from the app.
Once you complete the steps, Rufus will run the automated script to download the Windows 10 ISO file from the Microsoft servers and create a bootable media to install the operating system on a UEFI device without needing the Media Creation Tool.
When you have the USB boot media with support for UEFI systems, you can launch the "Windows Setup" wizard to perform a clean installation of Windows 10 or an in-place upgrade. However, since the "UEFI:NTFS bootloader" does not include a digital signature for secure boot, you must temporarily disable secure boot on the motherboard firmware before you can boot into the setup. Typically, you would do this from within the UEFI, which you can access by hitting one of the function keys (F1, F2, F3, F10, or F12), Esc, or the Delete key, as soon as you start the computer.
The firmware settings are different per manufacturer and even by device model. As a result, check your device manufacturer's support website for more specific instructions. After the installation of Windows 10, you can enable secure boot again.

Microsoft offers a very useful Windows 11 media creation tool for users to upgrade their PCs, do a completely clean installation, create bootable installation USB drives, DVDs or ISO files to install Windows 11 on other PCs.
Step 1. Visit Microsoft and download and run Windows Media 11 creation tool. (You need to be an administrator to run this tool) If you agree to the license terms, select Accept.
Step 5. Insert the USB flash drive that you formatted to your PC, and then click the USB flash drive to create a bootable Windows 11 installer. Then, select Next. Then you have created a Windows 11 Pro boot USB.
AOMEI Backupper Standard--this easy-to-use software can create bootable media, and you don't need to prepare ISO files in advance because the software will take care of the bootable media creation process. Besides USB flash drives, you can also choose CDs, DVDs as bootable media. The bootable disc created supports legacy /MBR and UEFI/GPT boot modes.
This is a step-by-step tutorial where you can make bootable media with AOMEI Backupper Standard in all Windows operating systems, including Windows 11/10/8/7/XP/Vista. Download and install it on your PC to have a try.
Note: It should be noted that your USB drive will be formatted after the media creation process. So, if you don't want to suffer data loss, backup the files on your USB flash drive in advance.
Step 3. Choose USB Boot Device and click Next. You will be prompted that your USB disk will be formatted. Click Yes to begin creating the bootable media because you have already made a backup earlier.
In this article, you'll be able to get two ways to create Windows 11 Pro bootable USB, and they're Windows Media creation tool and AOMEI Backupper. Once you've created bootable USB, you'll be able to use these 2 methods to boot and troubleshoot when your PC fails, as well as for Windows 11 Pro system installations.
when encountering the issue that check for Windows update issues: detected except to create Windows 11 pro boot USB, you can use AOMEI Backupper to backup your system to avoid data loss during troubleshooting. So try it now!
Before you get started, make sure you've backed up your computer. Although the dual-boot setup process is not very involved, accidents can still happen. So take the time to back up your important files in case chaos theory comes into play. In addition to backing up your files, consider taking an image backup of the disk as well, though that's not required and can be a more advanced process.
I recommend installing Windows and Ubuntu via flash drives since they're faster than DVDs. It probably goes without saying, but creating bootable media erases everything on the flash drive. Therefore, make sure the flash drives are empty or contain data you don't care about losing.
If your machine doesn't support booting from USB, you can create DVD media instead. Unfortunately, because no two computers seem to have the same DVD-burning software, I can't walk you through that process. However, if your DVD-burning application has an option to burn from an ISO image, that's the option you need.
If Windows 10 came with your PC, the license will be built into the computer, so you don't need to worry about entering it during installation. If you bought the retail edition, you should have a product key, which you will need to enter during the installation process.
Download and launch the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. Once you launch the tool, it will walk you through the steps required to create the Windows media on a USB or DVD-R. Note: Even if you already have Windows 10 installed, it's a good idea to create bootable media anyway, just in case something goes wrong and you need to reinstall it.
For creating bootable media for any Linux distribution, I recommend Etcher. Etcher works on all three major operating systems (Linux, MacOS, and Windows) and is careful not to let you overwrite your current operating system partition.
Once you have downloaded and launched Etcher, click Select image, and point it to the Ubuntu ISO you downloaded in step 4. Next, click Select drive to choose your flash drive, and click Flash! to start the process of turning a flash drive into an Ubuntu installer. (If you're using a DVD-R, use your computer's DVD-burning software instead.)
There are two ways of going about the installation. First, if you already have Windows 10 installed, you can have the Ubuntu installer resize the partition, and the installation will proceed in the empty space. Or, if you haven't installed Windows 10, install it on a smaller partition you can set up during the installation process. (I'll describe how to do that below.) The second way is preferred and less error-prone. There's a good chance you won't have any issues either way, but installing Windows manually and giving it a smaller partition, then installing Ubuntu, is the easiest way to go.
