Wait, there is an automatic tool to create the USB stick. I use it regularly.

I think it is interesting that you can still buy old Windows 7 hardware, and just stick the Windows 10 install USB into it, reboot, and be on your way.

The second option. Easy as pie.

I mentioned that I ran into two problems with this:

- it only runs on Windows (I was trying to install without having Windows already).

- it creates an installer that cannot install to a GPT partition.
