That only works if the system you're trying to boot the drive from has NTFS UEFI drivers, or if you format your drive as FAT32. Recent versions of Windows 10 cannot be copied and pasted to FAT32 drives because the system image is bigger than 4 GB.
- Matthias247 6y agoRight - things got a lot more tricky due to this. When I built my new PC I also spent a couple of hours on it, because most of the old documented and simple solutions did not work. When I had a big partition that could hold the image the system wouldn't want to boot from it. On the small Fat32 partition the image didn't fit. I think in the end I had to create 2 paritions, a Fat32 and an ExFat one. Then I had most of the boot files on both, but the big windows image only on the ExFat one. That actually works - when the installer can't find the big image on the original partition you can point it to the other one and the installation will continue.
