1448874	2018-04-25 04:54:00	Hi all Just putting a windows ISO onto a USB following the instructions given in THIS ( . pcmag . com/operating-systems-and-platforms/46896/feature/how-to-run-windows-10-from-a-usb-drive" target="_blank">au . pcmag . com) article . Perfect step by step instructions and all went well . . . until it wouldn't boot on the notebook I was trying to bring back to life . I eventually found out the problem was the notebook did not have the usual simple old BIOS system that I know and can still stuff up any computer with . . . rather, it has the flash new UEFI system which I know very little about, or to be more precise, nothing but 1 article I've read . Unfortunately, the WinToUSB software only allows MBR to BIOS on the free version, and if you need the UEFI and try selecting MBR to BIOS and UEFI, you have to upgrade to the paid version !! That will be $29 . 95 thank you sir, will that be cash or credit ?? If anyone has a little work around or can reccommend any other FREE software that will do the same as the paid version, I'd appreciate hearing from you . :) SP8's . . . We shall not forget	SP8s (7813)
1448875	2018-04-25 05:08:00	Try Rufus, it's worked well for me. https://rufus.akeo.ie/ I also like that it's portable and doesn't need to be installed.	dugimodo (138)
1448876	2018-04-25 05:19:00	Thanks dugi A serious day, but you may get a smile on your face from this article in the ODT and the comment at the bottom ... I mean ... who would write such a thing ? :devil :rolleyes:	SP8s (7813)
1448877	2018-04-25 06:19:00	If it's Windows 10, just use the official tool. Hasn't put me wrong yet. :thumbs:	pcuser42 (130)
1448878	2018-04-25 06:30:00	What are you actually trying to do ?? (the article Linked in original Post) WintoUSB creates a Bootable OS from the USB drive, Meaning its the same as if you have the OS installed on a Hard drive and boot into a working OS, MS call it windows to Go. ( think of it like the Linux Live CD) If you wanted to put the ISO onto a USB drive and use the USB to install or repair, its totally different.	wainuitech (129)
1448879	2018-04-25 23:35:00	Hi Wainui . . . I understand what you're saying, I'm not trying to repair or install . Done that a couple of times and think I still remember the process . . . THINK being the operative word . :confused: I'm really just playing around with that new, now old, Ollee Snowbook . Just thought I may have been able to run it off a USB drive and use an SD card as storage . Unlike you . . . and I really didn't want to admit this in a public forum . . . I wasn't born with a supercomputer in my mouth :rolleyes: I learn the old fashoned way . . . by making showers of gold motherboard dust, smelling the burning insulation, blowing fuses . . . shocking really . . . especially when you get playing with those big caps in the PSU's before discharging them with something other than fingers . :eek: :clap:clap:clap	SP8s (7813)
1448880	2018-04-26 00:07:00	Well Rufus will put ISOs onto bootable Flash drives, but I have no Idea if it'll help with what you are trying.	dugimodo (138)
1448881	2018-04-26 00:50:00	Hi Wainui . . . I wasn't born with a supercomputer in my mouth :rolleyes: I learn the old fashoned way :clap:clap:clap Neither was I . Haven't always done computers . For over 20 years I was a coachbuilder in the railways . The went into computers and haven't stopped learning since :) I'm closer to retiring than a fresh start ;)	wainuitech (129)

Rant over . . . :clap:clap:clap:thumbs::thumbs: Know exactly what you're saying SP8s :D Always liked the smell of burning rubber like at the stockcars -- Its just "got it" . SWMBO doesn't see why-- Shes just weird -- I can say that here, she never reads these posts LOL . I use that saying sometimes, "If it's got tits, transom or ??" the last word ?? Tyres ;) Usually stop at tits :D SWMBO normally come back with some smart comment, if I really want to get on her nerves I start playing and singing "if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life" now I ain't no great singer, well maybe in the shower and after a few Drinks . :D I remind her of slightly younger days when we used to sing ( together) one particular song :D Awyyyyy now I'm getting bar keep -- the glass is empty -- Damn never can win around here LOL	wainuitech (129)
