How to Create an Install/Repair Disc or USB Flash Drive for Windows 10

If you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 and then something happens and your PC won’t boot and Startup Repair does not work, which it rarely does. Then you need to create a Windows 10 Install Disc or USB Flash Drive to boot from and repair your Windows 10 Installation.

Microsoft has done a good thing here. They’ve created a Media Creation Tool to create an Install/Repair Disc or USB Flash Drive for Windows 10.

Go to this link and Scroll Down to the Download Tool button and click it

This will walk you though creating Install Media for your Computer.

Nice Tool to have!

If your system is slow and flaky even after a Tune-Up … it’s probably the Hard Drive

Recently I have run into more failing hard drives than I used to see. I run a short drive test and they pass, yet the system remains flaky even after a Tune-Up and Malware Removal. Replacing the hard drive has been the fix. For that reason I first backup most systems, unless they are really new, before I perform a Tune-Up and Malware Removal. Yes, it takes a lot of time, but that way I don’t lose my customers data! Which I really hate to do! – Joe

Ran into this problem recently trying to repair an older PC that has been upgraded to Windows 10.

Follow the instructions on this site to fix ithttp://www.thewindowsclub.com/dpc_watchdog_violation-blue-s…

Also probably not a bad idea to update your Drivers with DriverBoosterhttp://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php#

However, when you are done I would uninstall DriverBooster because IObit loves to annoy you with Upgrade and New Product Messages. Then run Autoruns to delete the LiveUpdate service that IObit installs and does not remove on uninstall.
