New and improved ALL-IN-ONE single multi-purpose flash drive solution here: The LAST flash drive you will ever need! Ventoy FULL walk-thru and review!

[@BoatMurderedDF]

As an IT professional who has worked in the industry for over a decade, I whole-heartedly approve of this wonderful video to help the normies.

[@whodamanme_]

Of 20+ years of desktop and laptop ownership I've never had an issue and still own every single machine... Sure you should plan for the worst, but the worst doesn't happen to everyone.

[@irfanifteqarali5388]

Linux for life

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

30 years in the business has taught me that you WILL have issues at some point. These discs are absolutely worth their weight in GOLD when that time comes!

[@theendresult6404]

Another variation of thi is to use a tool like Ventoy, where you install that to the USB drive, and then copy the ISO's to the folder, then you can have a multi boot disk, I currently have 19 ISO's stored on my disk, boot first to ventoy, then use scroll menu to choose which iso to load.

[@ChrisGR93_TxS]

jokes on you. is don't do windows updates!

[@eosjoe565]

In addition to these two boot drives, I would also recommend having a Linux USB boot drive on hand as well, either Mint or Ubuntu. I've rescued Windows files using a Linux boot USB when everything seemed hopeless.

[@alexthai4957]

Good video but I disagree with needing to create these before a problem. I upgrade every 2 years so haven't had a failure in past 20 years. Can always create them on laptop or desktop that's not having problems. Kind of like buying a spare water pump for the car because every mechanic will tell you it's not if, but when, your water pump will fail...

[@napoleonhardridge7014]

Sometimes, its best to have one or two backup SSD drives with your entire system on it, so when sometime do go wrong -- you could, physically replace it or transfer the good drive over the bad... 2 USB boot drives is a must HAVE... But, also having two hardcopies of your system is even better.

Hi and good morning, why win 10 and not 11?

[@emberparadox458]

I just wanted to point out a few notes of clarity. The Windows Media Creation Tool does indeed allow you to re-install Windows onto any PC, but it is a "clean" version of Windows, meaning any bundled software from the manufacturer will not immediately be present and will need to be downloaded along with any aesthetics such as wallpapers. You will only get the core Windows programs and perhaps a few bloat programs that Microsoft likes to bundle into the stock OS these days. Now while the vast majority of people likely won't care one bit about not having that manufacerer-included software, people with gaming PC's who have used the included gaming-type software such as RGB control for their keyboards or towers might want that back and could be frustrated with trying to locate the software and drivers on the manufacterer's website.

[@elyndafae1593]

I've had my laptop for a couple of months now and I've been worrying over how I go about creating these flash drives. This video made it all clear and enabled me to finally get the job done. Thank you.

[@mandeepsheera6272]

I had a little hiccup last week with my PC. Ran scannow /SFC. Repaired errors. Came across this KZbin video. Have used 2 USB drives to download these boot CDs for future use. Very clear instructions. Highly recommend your video to others. Thank you!

[@JustAGameShow]

It's worth noting that Ventoy for USB boot creation is a far better option, if you go this route, you can actually combine the x2 USB sticks into one by just dropping the ISO images onto the USB drive, you get a menu on booting asking which ISO image you want to run. I've gone this route and found it easier to just reach for the one USB drive for all.

[@agenda697]

Good advice, been doing the same for years !

[@tbonky]

I am a big fan of Hiren’s. Since about 2008 when I began building and servicing my partner’s pcs. Glad I found your channel I need to keep up on this stuff.

[@TheGreekHermit]

Thanks for the tutorial. This has to be the most easiest format and reinstall of windows I have ever gone through. Repartitioned with Genius on Hirens and reinstalled windows with the boot USB. Keep them coming!

[@edyoung6573]

Fantastic!!! Just did it! I use to do this "back in the day" I still have a stack of CD'R's named "Windows System boot discs" from 5 laptops ago in a drawer (I think from Windows XP, that was my favorite OS) . Man have we come a long way with the Thumb drives! I'll be honest, I forgot how to do it!! Thanks brother! I just finally subscribed as I've been watching allot of your videos lately. Most new laptops don't even have optical drives built in!

[@charlessmyth]

Don't forget to label the keys and keep them someplace you can find them. Perform regular backups Hirens looks like a useful tool :-)
