Instead, I prefer to download ISO only with Media Creation Tool, and then I use Rufus to write it to USB flash - this way you have a bit more options to set:Īs for Secure boot, disabling it (at least, during installation process) may solve your issues, at least give it a try to it (consult your UEFI manual how to do it). Personally, I've experienced multiple issues when creating bootable media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool.
Also, Secure boot (if enabled) may restrict booting from removable media, if something goes wrong. However, some laptops have some kind of 'stripped down' firmware.
Most UEFI systems, however, are capable of booting from both MBR- and GPT- bootable drives. Generally speaking, your bootable media 'type' should match your firmware, and booting from it should be enabled and available.įor legacy BIOS, you should create MBR-partitioned flash drive.
