How to create a Windows 10 Installation USB

In this video I show you how to create a USB memory stick loaded with Windows 10. With one of these sticks, you're ready to:
- Install Windows 10 on a new computer (and you’ll need to buy a licence)
- Do a clean installation of Windows 10 if you've already been using it
- Upgrade Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10 (and again you’ll need a licence)
- Update Windows 10 to the latest version
- and Repair problems with Windows 10.

I recommend using a Kingston USB stick like this:

Thanks so much. I've been watching videos here for hours although they explain things but still add useless information, which makes it confusing. Really liked your detailed and exact instructions.
