I have Windows 10 in a VM but it’s misconfigured and can’t access USB. I won’t have this very soon once I sell my old laptop. Also WTG can only be written by Windows, and a fast Windows PC at that. The entire drive gets taken up and can’t be used for other things. I previously ran it in a Windows To Go drive, but WTG is so limiting.

It cannot run by command line, it needs to install to a GUI and since the Windows installer doesn’t have this type of environment, it errors out with a “this version of Windows is not supported” error. Unfortunately WD Dashboard doesn’t run this way. I just kept pressing F12 as the logo appears on boot).Īnd inspired by this success, I tried to run the WD Dashboard software to update the firmware in my WD SN850 SSD I have installed. Reboot your computer and use F12 to access the boot menu (this can take a few tries to get the timing right.

I didn’t have a “Windows To Go” or a windows machine to use, but I wanted to do the BIOS upgrade.Ĭopy the ISO onto your new Ventoy USB driveĭownlaod the BIOS exe and put the exe on the USB drive also
