Default Can I install Win 10 like this?

using linux command line something like:

dd if=windowsinstall.iso of=/dev/sdb

I know how to do that.

What i need to know is where to purchase and download the iso file that
will boot the laptop into the Windows 10 installation routine. I assume
I will get a long registration code when I purchase the file that I will
need to enter during installation.Â* I prefer to get the file from
Microsoft if possible.Â* TIA.Â*Â* Bill S.



Hi Bilsch,

"dd" only works if you set the iso up correctly for it.
M$ does not.

You can burn the iso with K3b in Linux to a DVD.

The only way I have found to make it using Rufus from
a Window virtual machine.

I have not tried Jonathan's Startup Disk Creator suggestion,
but I'd go that route first.
