Install Win10 on USB from USB
#1
Been working on this all day. I got Win10 from the store on a Microsoft USB drive. I found the SWM files in the x64/sources directory figuring I wanted the 64-bit version of Home. For the life of me it wouldn’t install using paid version 4.8.

I decided to try the install.swm file in the x86/sources directory. It is installing now, but “stuck” at 0%. Not sure if it is really stuck. Will give it time.

I will send logs if this doesn’t work. Just wondering what the diff between the x64 and x86 versions.

(Edit)

Well, I have Win7 64-bit installed. The difference is one is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit. Only have 4GB of RAM so the 32-bit Win10 should be OK.

Spinny circle still at 0%.

(Edit)

Circle still at 0% but drive is filling up...went from 164MB used to 260something. Something is happening. It is usb 2.0 on an older laptop. Sooooo..plus the usb drive I am installing on is probably not ideal. I read something about 4K read/write times.

(Edit)

Just as I posted last edit, it flipped to 1% then 2 then 5. Smile
