📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a Windows 10 installation issue, specifically an error code "0x80042405-0xA001B" encountered when creating a bootable USB, with users debating the minimum storage requirements for the media creation process. The original poster seeks clarification on whether an 8GB USB is sufficient, with responses indicating that a 4GB ISO file should fit on an 8GB drive, but recommending at least 32GB to accommodate updates and data. The conversation also touches on potential issues with the error code and suggests manual creation of a bootable USB; later, a user shares that purchasing an OEM activation key resolved similar activation problems. Overall, the tone is collaborative, aiming to troubleshoot the installation challenge.

Hi there, 1 questioner got a Win 10 to install on another stick. "0x80042405-0xA001B" And in fact, I have noticed that brings presented by the MS-user "8GB" is not enough version of the 1903 for this needs at least (HOME) 12gt drive / 16GB (PRO)!
When that bug report came up here in the Fin community that (8gt) was sufficient. How is this going to be sufficient or because of that transfer to another machine must be "12gt" (HOME) / "16gt" (PRO). Referring to that error message THANK YOU for your answers Rapaaja

The ISO should only be around 4GB so it should easily fit on a 8GB stick. Re-read that first line, you want to install it on a flash drive? That's not really recommended, but you would want one at least 32GB to account for updates, programs and data.

Doesn't look like a valid error code There should be 8 hex numbers after 0x

Hi

It should be the code you are using, it is not valid, or maybe you are using an installation code, in fact you need an activation code, i had the same probleme, after i bought an OEM code, the problem has been solved.
