Unfortunately I don't accept a thumb drive large enough to install Windows 10 on my new PC, so Four'e been wondering if you can use an external HDD instead? Would be much better than buying a new thumb drive.

Want to install today, then I plan to utilise something I accept available today. Are at that place risks with using an external HDD?
First format the drive to fat32 and make sure the hdd has just one unmarried partitioning; and then apply media creation tool to make information technology bootable... https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10 no risks, but brand sure that there are no essential files or documents in the hdd; only if the hdd is one TB or more; i guess information technology may not work...

Gamble i would say no, but maybe was bad luck to me. Make sure afterwards doing it to restore the disk in NTFS mode to work properly.

Since using an external hard drive requires formatting and losing whatsoever information on it, it certain seems like information technology'd exist worth a quick trip to get a USB flash drive. Yous tin even buy them in drug stores nowadays - eastward.grand. Walgreens has 16 GB ones for $8 (and Micro Center has them for $3).

You can, but information technology WILL wipe out everything that currently exists on that drive. (Don't say we, and Microsoft, didn't warn you)
