I currently have no Windows system on any PC.Â* I have Ubuntu. I want

USB stick 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.
Not sure about Ubuntu, but Linux Mint has 'usb image writer' and it does
just that.Â*Â* No special software needed.Â*Â*Â* You can download from
Windows for free at
Â*Â*Â*Â*https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft.../windows10ISO/
but this only gives you the ISO no key.Â* But you can try writing a usb
if you get the software and try booting it off any pc, even yours to
test the creation of the usb drive.

Once you know you can put all those parts together, you can now try to
invest money into a key, and you have the option now for 1) key only
since you can download Pro or Home from MS, 2) key and USB, or 3) key
and ISO download (which is kinda redundant).Â* I guess a 4th option is
having the dvd and key mailed to you as Paul pointed out from a place
like Newegg, Tiger Direct, Microcenter (a local brick and mortar but
they do ship).


It's call Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu.
