I know Installing Windows 10 in a Normal way is easy..
but can you install windows 10 using the advanced trick😏?
This video will help you how to install windows 10 using DISM Command Prompt.

(I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TECHNICAL DAMAGES. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK)

(I AM USING VMWARE, WINDOWS 10 2004 IMAGE ISO)

Commands:
[DISKPART]

[Shift - F10 to open Command Prompt]
diskpart
sel disk 0
clean
convert gpt

create par efi size=500
format fs=fat32

assign letter W
create par pri
format fs=ntfs quick
assign letter C
exit

[Windows DISM]
cd /d D:\Sources (i didn't mention this but this is optional)

(FOR PEOPLE WHO DOWNLOADED WINDOWS ISO FROM THE INTERNET)

(FOR THOSE WHO DOWNLOADED WINDOWS FROM MEDIA CREATION TOOL)

[FOR BOOT COMMANDS]
bootrec /scanos
bcdboot C:\Windows /s W:
bootrec /scanos (repeat)

[OPENING REGISTRY EDITOR]
regedit

[REGISTRY HIVES LOCATION]

Thanks a lot!
I had a friend's Asus t100 to install W10 for it not knowing it was different from other laptops, i had to work on it for 3 days until I stumbled upon your video, it had an EMMC and no drives would show up in the installation screen but the drive was there and healthy, i had to try a different way to install it

Thanks a lot

[adelewis-higham]

Thank you, I have now restored a laptop that I could only access the command line, happy days!

[halfdecent]

DUDE Thank you! I installed Windows 10 on my surface RT when it wasn't supposed to be, and now I just reinstalled Windows 8.1 back on thanks to your tutorial. I was quite stuck. Thanks a ton!

Albeit for some minor changes, I was able to leverage this to install Windows Home Server 2011 using Windows 10 10240 DISM from its install media. I had to do that as to not mess with a multi-boot I have set up.

Thanks,

Great Video...unfortunately, I have a corrupt system and REALLY DO NOT want to do a reinstall of windows 10 Pro 64 bit. I have tried all of the traditional methods to achieve my goal, but the process fails every time. Since this method in your video can't be used to do an upgrade or repair a corrupt windows image...if at all possible, can you please post a video to upgrade and repair existing installed windows?

I got stuck on "bcdboot C:\Windows /s W:" command
after the command runs successfully and I run "bootrec /scanos" again, it still detects Windows Installation. I got frustrated by this problem

What did I do wrong?

[levittja]

Excellently put, very succinct. Thank you.

[birikanou]
