What are my next steps please? I'm trying to load Windows 10 onto a computer currently running Vista.
I've got a Gateway Model MD7335u running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.
64 bit operating system, Pentium Dual Core T4200 @ 2.00 GHz, 4.00 GB RAM.
Graphics Card Direct X version 10.0.
Storage 135 GB, 87 GB free space.
I paid for a copy of Windows 10 and downloaded the ISO file.
I used WinCDEmu to mount the ISO to a virtual drive on my computer.
I've tried copying the folders and files from the virtual drive to a blank 8 GB flash drive but get the following error message.
"The file install.wim is too large for the destination file system. Size 4.29 GB."
The virtual drive shows the following folders and files.
boot (file folder)
efi (file folder)
sources (file folder)
support (file folder)
autorun (setup information)
bootmgr (file)
bootmgr.eft (EFI file)
setup (application file)
When I search the virtual drive it is finding install.wim.
The Microsoft Windows 10 Download Disc Image (ISO File) web page states
-An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
-Sufficient data storage available on a computer, USB or external drive for the download.
-A blank USB flash drive with at least 5 GB of space or blank DVD (and DVD burner) if you want to create media. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will be deleted.
-When burning a DVD from an ISO file, if you are told the disc image file is too large you will need to use Dual Layer (DL) DVD Media.
I am not sure what to do next. Should I use a larger flash drive? Or is this even the problem? I've seen other answers on the Windows forum that talk about the difference between an upgrade and a clean install when going from Vista to Windows 10. How would I do a clean install if that is the issue? The same web page also states
Links valid for 24 hours from time of creation.
Links expire: 4/27/2020 12 :43:49 AM UTC.
Does that mean if I do not figure this out quickly I've lost the $150 I paid to Microsoft for the download?
Thank you for your help!
