Can't create Windows 10 Installation Media. Any ideas?
I'm in the process of building a new computer for my wife. I've purchased a new Windows 10 Home license and planned to use Microsoft's installation media creation tool to create an install flash drive. It seems like a no-brainer but the tool won't recognize any of my flash drives and I have no idea why.
I had a spare 4GB drive that was supposedly big enough but it wouldn't show up on the drive list in the tool. The only thing that showed up was my external hard drive. I've tried three different 16GB drives thinking maybe there wasn't quite enough free space on the 4GB, but they don't show up either. The only drive that shows as available is my external backup drive.
I'm not certain if it makes a difference but I thought I'd mention that all of the drives I've tried, the only ones that I have access to, are SanDisk brand.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
