How to create a Windows 10 boot disk

Windows 10 is the most popular operating system these days. On this site, we have repeatedly written about its installation on a computer or laptop. However, the option to use the DVD was missed. It happens that not all people have a flash drive at hand, so today we will tell you how to create a boot disk with Windows 10, and then use it to install the operating system on a PC.

Downloading the system image

Downloading images with the Windows 10 operating system is different from the methods used by Microsoft before. The fact is that the image cannot be downloaded on the official website, instead there is a special utility that automatically downloads and writes Windows 10 to a USB flash drive or disk. Therefore, before we continue, download this program from the official website.

Now that the utility has been downloaded, we can proceed directly to burning Windows 10 to disk.
