    Issue creating Windows USB

    So Iโ€™ve been trying to create a Windows 10 boot USB for two weeks now and Iโ€™m going insane. I donโ€™t have access to a windows machine to use the Microsoft tool because nobody I know owns a computer anymore. I only have a Mac and two Linux machines. Iโ€™ve tried creating a bootable USB on both but no matter how I do it I get a message on boot saying โ€œReboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.โ€ Iโ€™ve tried this on two computers both running Linux and I get the same error on both. Iโ€™m trying to install Windows on one of them because it turns out there are a few things I need windows for.

    Tonight I used this video as a guide, still no luck.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    obviously, it would be so much easier on a Windows machine.

    there is no-one you know with a PC - friend, family, neighbour, work colleague?
    what about somewhere with computers, like, web cafe, library, PC shop?

      To use Windows you will need to purchase a Windows product key at which point you can go for Windows media on USB or Windows on DVD, problem solved + you actually have all that you have paid for rather than any electronic download.
