Hasleo WinToUSB is a professional tool for creating Windows 10 installation media. It allows you to create a Windows 10 installation USB drive and install Windows 10 from the drive on UEFI computers. This tutorial details how to create a Windows 10 installation USB drive on UEFI computers, covering the following aspects:
With advancements in storage technology and the rapid popularity of disks with a capacity greater than 2TB, computers sold on the market now use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) as the motherboard firmware to support larger disks rather than Legacy Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware. Additionally, most computers no longer provide DVD drives. The popularity of UEFI systems and the lack of DVD drives make it difficult to install Windows. As most users are only familiar with DVD-based installation, they even don't know what UEFI is. Don't worry, you can use a USB drive to install Windows 10 on UEFI computers without a DVD drive.
Typically, we download Windows 10 installation ISO from Microsoft's official website or purchase an official installation DVD from authorized resellers. Avoid downloading the installation ISO files from third-party websites, as they may have built-in viruses or unwanted programs. If you only have a Windows 10 installation DVD, first convert the DVD to Windows ISO image. Then use Hasleo WinToUSB to create a bootable Windows 10 installation USB drive by following the below steps. To download the official Windows 10 installation ISO, please refer to our step-by-step guide: How to Download Windows 10 Installation ISO from Microsoft's Official Website?
