Usually, we just need to create a bootable USB to install Windows, forgetting that booting Windows requires the right standard. Creating a UEFI-GPT Bootable USB differs significantly from the Legacy standard, which many overlook until they encounter issues. Sometimes, you can't boot your computer because it's not the right standard, even if your USB boot creation steps are correct.
But with the software introduced by Mytour below, you can resolve this issue as it ensures booting on both UEFI GPT and Legacy systems. Follow the instructions below to learn how to create a UEFI-GPT Bootable USB.

What is GPT?
Before we dive into the article, let's briefly discuss GPT versus the previous standard, MBR. MBR and GPT are both hard drive standards that dictate data input/output, organization, and disk partitioning. We can use software to convert from MBR to GPT and vice versa. GPT, introduced in recent years, supports a maximum of 1 billion TB compared to MBR's limit of 2000gb. It can be divided into 128 different partitions and only supports 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8, 10. Additionally, GPT only supports machines using the UEFI standard instead of both Legacy and UEFI like MBR.
What is UEFI?
UEFI is the system software that checks the devices on your computer upon startup, verifying their specifications and transmitting them to Windows for booting.
UEFI surpasses Legacy by supporting both MBR and GPT, rather than just MBR like Legacy. Additionally, it offers significantly faster boot speeds.
Create a UEFI-GPT Bootable USB
Step 1: To create a UEFI-GPT Bootable USB, the first thing you need to do is download the MutiBoot Toolkit software from here.
Step 2: Once Mutiboot Toolkit is fully downloaded to your computer, extract the software and run the Install Mutiboot file.
Note: Remember to plug in your USB into the computer.
Step 3: On the Mutiboot Administrator interface, press any key to proceed.
Step 4: The software will list a series of your devices, select the device that matches your USB name the closest, then press Enter .
Step 5: In the next step, the software will ask you to leave how many MB empty to install additional software. Since Mytour doesn't want to install anything extra, just leave it as 100mb.
Step 6: Immediately, the software will run without you having to do anything else.
If you see the Successfully notification, don't intervene. Let the software handle it automatically and continue running the file.
Until you see this notification, it means we've successfully created the UEFI-GPT Bootable USB.
Here, Mytour has completed guiding you through the process of creating a UEFI-GPT Bootable USB. You can utilize this method to easily install Windows 10, 8, or 7. In a previous article, Mytour also introduced readers to creating a UEFI-standard Windows 10 installation USB. If you haven't come across that article yet, you can refer to it for additional guidance on creating a UEFI-standard Windows 10 installation USB and follow the instructions as needed.
