Hey everyone,

So I recently built my first custom gaming pc, yet to get the gpu, but I'm having issues using the tool to transfer a windows 10 iso onto a usb.

The usb I'm trying to use is an ADATA 32gb stick, and I have no problems accessing it from the computer and storing data on it.

For some reason the tool says that it can't recognize the usb drive. Could it be the make of the flash drive that the tool can't recognize?
 
Solution
Just enable AHCI, secureboot, and UEFI . If it has a UEFI BIOS. Before you install Windows. And if youre installing 64 bit

And select GPT partition in Rufus before you add the ISO

Specifically, what are you doing that is not working?
Where did the ISO come from?
Which tool are you using?

The MediaCreation tool should do this no problem, with a brand new ISO that it downloads.
