Download Windows 10 and Create USB Thumb Drive for Booting to Installation PLUS Data Migration

How To Download & Create a USB, DVD or ISO of Windows 10! Plus, tips for Migrating user data from their old machine to the new Windows 10 Machine

If you need to install or reinstall Windows 10 using a USB or DVD, you can use the media creation tool to create your own installation media with either a USB flash drive or a DVD. The tool provides file formats optimized for download speed and can be used to create ISO files. In this video, I walk you through the process of downloading Windows 10, creating a bootable USB thumb drive, and copying over data migration files you will need to have an awesome addition to your migration toolbox.

This video uses the Microsoft Media Creation tool. In the coming weeks, I will do a similar video that does it the manual way (without the tool) but the tool is way easier (HINT: and safer).
