Begin by plugging your USB drive into an available USB port on your Windows computer. Ensure that the
drive is empty or that you've backed up its contents, as the process will erase all existing data.
Search for "Command Prompt" in the Start menu, right-click on it, and select "Run as administrator" to
open CMD with elevated privileges. Discover step-by-step instructions for opening Command Prompt as
an Administrator here.
Use the `cd` command to navigate to the USB drive. For example, if your USB drive is assigned the letter
E, type `cd E:` and press Enter.
Type `list disk` and press Enter. Identify your USB drive in the list (make sure to select the correct disk to
avoid data loss).
Type `select disk X` (replace X with your USB drive number) and press Enter.
Type `clean` and press Enter. This will erase all data on the USB drive.
Type `format fs=fat32 quick` and press Enter. This formats the partition with the FAT32 file system.
Copy all the files from your Windows installation media to the USB drive. You can do this manually or
use the `xcopy` command.
Step 12: Make the USB Drive Bootable
Type `bcdboot X:\windows` (replace X with the letter assigned to your USB drive) and press Enter.
