Question
Tuesday, August 4, 2015 6:24 AM
On my machine, which runs on Linux Mint 17, i have visited the https://www.microsoft.com/hu-hu/software-download/windows10 website and clicked the Download Tool (32 bit version) link. An around 3 GB file was downloaded. The question is whether may use this file for installation of Windows 10 after having to burn to a DVD in the same way, as if after downloading Windows Media Creation Tool?

Hi,
Bypass the Media Creation Tool method by downloading the ISO, and then using the Windows ISO Creator to create your installation media.

No body here has any idea on how to do this, because they don't run a Linux. I on the other hand do run a Ubunta 16.04. Their are softwares you can download under Ubuntu Software or what ever system you're using (Your Linux - Software)*. Their are ways to mount .ISO to DVD Drive as well as ,ways to mount usb's to reformat them to be able to act as a boot.
Either look up UNetbootin, or type in .ISO and read the descriptions. If you need more help, Than I'll need to know what system you run. Go to System settings & details.

On linux you should install Unetbootin. Last time I worked with Mint it was derived from Debian.
On Debian if your distribution includes the official repo for Unetbootin, enter the command "sudo apt-get install unetbootin" after the install if you don't have, then install gparted using the same command.
Format the partition accordingly to your filesystem and that you intend to run Windows OS.
If Unetbootin is not an option for reason XYZ - please use the following command carefully!
"dd if=/(path/to/windows-ISO of=/dev/sdx" <-- just replace path/to/windows-ISO with the directory your ISO is located. And of course gparted or fdisk -l will indicate the correct partition you are looking for, be sure to double check and check again before changing 'sdX' to the correct extension IE SDA(1,2,3,)/SDB(1,2,3)
Of course remove quote marks before running the command, DD and apt-get always require root - so just throw in a SUDO before initial commands.
Windows usus NTFS so be sure to format a partition correcly

This has me thinking.
If you have virtual machine-ware, and your BIOS has the option for virtualization you maybe able to load and install the windows operating system to a virtual hard disk image and then copy the entire filesystem to a hard drive, mount and then issue a simple DD command to burn to contents of the cloned hard disk image as to an ISO file you can set to boot on removable media for ease of installation.
I'll try this myself, I currently have myself a copy of 64-bit Windows 10 ISO I will post results before testing with 32-bit.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gezakovacs/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unetbootinYou have to be somewhat familiar with terminal commands to use Linux. Familiarize yourself on how to add repositories via terminal because this is the easiest way you're going to install software. Use this app (unetbootin) it's useful for all Linux distros, you can use it for any windows variant as well.Make sure your usb is formatted correctly. Good luck!
