This is probably just dumb but, I have a 32Gb thumb drive. I downloaded windows 10 on it and used that to program this very computer. Now I want to put a copy of windows 10 on a different machine. I know I will need a new authentication key, that's not much of an issue.
But here is the stupid part. The stupid thing doesn't work. I can get a new thumb drive if I have to but I would much rather just delete the info that's on this thumb drive and re download it if I have to. It says write protected... I have found a handful of tutorials on how to unlock these stupid things. Regedit and diskpart don't do it. Diskpart doesn't even show it as read only. There is no physical lock.
So is there a fool proof way to unlock these dumb things? Or does putting win 10 on it screw them forever somehow?
If win 10 screws them forever somehow, shouldn't I still be able to use it to upload 10 on a different machine?
TIA!
Edit: DWORD value reads 0x0000001 (1) but IDK how to physically change the value. Clicking on the numeric string doesn't do anything. Clicking on the word DWORD lets me bring up something, but it sure doesn't look like what the tutorials show.
