So my PC crashed a couple days ago and I need to run a clean install of windows 10 from a bootable USB. The only other computer I have to work with is a Chrome OS, and I can't seem to find clear instructions on how to create a bootable USB from Chrome OS. Most of my search results are pulling up how to create a bootable USB to use within the Chromebook itself, whereas I want it to be used on a PC. Any ideas on how to do this?
答案1
Download the ISO file for Windows 10 from the Microsoft website here. Add the Chrome extension "Chromebook Recovery Utility." (Click here) Rename the downloaded file from filename.iso to filename.bin(The file name is usually called "Win10_22H2_English_x64v1.iso"). Launch Chromebook Recovery Utility and click the settings button in the top right corner, select "Use local image". Select the filename.bin that you downloaded and renamed. Insert and select the USB drive you are putting the iso on, wait for it to load, your done!

The Chromebook might not be the best tool here, but you do have a PC that can be used for this, even if its installed Windows is unusable and needs to be reinstalled.
If your PC has the capacity to connect two USB devices, and you do have two large-enough USB disks, then use one disk for booting an operating system that can create on the other disk the required Windows installation from the ISO.
You would need to copy the ISO to to the boot disk for it to be available.
You could use either of the following two boot medias :
- A Linux Live USB
- Tiny10, which is a Live lightweight version of Windows 10 for low-end PCs.

Another option is to write directly ISO to pendrive: from console in Chrome (CtrlAltT) you run command dd and write the iso to pendrive device in /dev/:
dd if=./Windows.iso of=/dev/sdb - change sdb to pendrive device (whole)
That way iso written is mostly capable to boot in modern systems.
