After installing Windows 10 on your USB drive, the system becomes damaged.
After saving the changes and re-downloading Windows 10, it disappears to zero size. Now I can't use my USB drive for Windows 10. Initially, it worked when installed on an HDD, but I couldn't install the latest updates after trying a fix. The process failed, so I had to reinstall it. After that, I tried SFC /scannow, but it only detected the corruption without fixing it. I've tried several other solutions, but none succeeded. I suspect the USB might be old—about 5 to 6 years—and a new USB with Windows 10 would be better.
I was occupied for a while, yet I attempted that but only caused corruption on my Windows, which blocked Internet Explorer, leaving me without internet (restarting PC/WiFi). I tried Restore, which I downloaded and placed on a USB drive to run it on the PC; it detected several damaged files. I’m unsure what caused the issue. Could the issue lie with the motherboard or hard drive? (The hard drive appears fully functional.)
