Hi,
I've encountered a problem with installing Windows 10 to USB. I legit go this through their page: https://www.microsoft.com/fi-fi/software.../windows10
The problem is, when I try to search the USB through that program, it can't find it. Is there anything to do? its on ( I: ), does it matter?

Is your USB formatted? Does it have enough space? (4gb is required)
Else you can download the ISO file and use an easy tool such as Rufus to make your USB a bootable flash drive ( http://rufus.akeo.ie/?locale=en)

No idea. There is enough space. How do I format one, if it isn't? (I have no idea is this a stupid question, I'm so prick when it comes to things like this.)

I suggest you just download the ISO and and use Rufus to make your USB bootable, trust me it's easier  You can format your USB with Rufus too (carful as formatting will erase all data)
E: If you need some more help we can speak on teamspeak or teamviewer eventually, but not today I have a lot of work left  tomorrow it should be ok

I am building computer atm and would like to get Windows downloading as fast as possible. Really appreciate your help, so nice of you, as always. I'll try rufus out, if I cant do anything I'll contact you tomorrow!
E: If you have a tiny little bit of time left, what settings do I need to set?

Just keep most of the stuff default & change only if you know what you're doing, it should do the trick

Doesn't help. I think Im missing something here...
Still when I go through the downloading method through Microsoft's home page, it still doesn't show the USB. Other words, I have a USB on my computer but the installation program doesn't agree with me.
I have formatted the USB (got a little brain fart there), now I'm trying to make USB bootable flash drive, but for some reason I can't.
