So my laptop doesn't have a optical drive and I got a fresh windows 10 installtion disk from HP.  I need to convert these to a bootable USB drive.

Now the problem is I have 4 DVD disks of windows 10. I saw online converting a disk to USB using DISKPART from command prompt.  But it is only for one disk installation. Can anyone show me how to convert all 4 parts of these disks to USB?

Hi Rgo_pal,

Another option besides making the DVD's to bootable USB's, you can purchase an external optical drive. It is always good to have, and they are affordable. You can find one for under $30.

Hope this helps.

    Hi Rgo,

    You can use the following tutorial to create an Installation media.

    Secondly, you can obtain device drivers from the manufacturer website.

    Hi Rgo_pal

    I do wish HP would move with the times . . .

    Because of the way HP make those recovery discs, you actually need to make 4 separate small USB drives, because when one disk finishes, you will be prompted to insert the next disk and so on

    Those cannot be merged into just one ISO file or one USB flash drive . . .

    Another options would be:

    Those disks contain Windows 10, a full set of device drivers and some HP utility software

    You can download and create a Windows 10 USB installation drive, on a 16GB flash Drive for free

    Then once that is done, create a folder on that flash drive called Utilities

    Go to the support page for your laptop on the HP website, then download a full set of drivers and HP utilities and store those in thta folder on the flash drive . . .

    Create bootable Windows 10 media on a flash drive:

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool

    Hi Rgo_pal

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    The copy of Windows 10 on the DVD is likely outdated, I would just download the Media Creation Tool and use it to make a direct bootable copy to the USB thumb drive.

    See steps:
