So I looked that up too and saw the solution may be setting the partition scheme to MBR rather than GPT.

However when I tried testing it on the laptop I made it with (an old Acer with Windows 10) to see if it booted I was stuck with a blinking cursor. So I used that to create a bootable USB and it finishes fine. I remember using it a few years ago and it working fairly well. I looked up some solutions online including placing the Media Creation Tool onto the USB before running the program but it still crashed.Īfter looking into it online I saw a few recommendations for the program Rufus. I wanted to have the USB set up in advance and I'm having trouble using the Windows Media Creation Tool - it always crashes during the second phase after downloading Windows 10. In a few weeks be building my PC and installing Windows 10 using a USB.
