Hi Loner T
Thanks for your reply!
With regard to my USB stick, you say that it's normal formatted as FAT/MBR?
At what point does that happen? I don't see that option in the 'disk utility'?
As I said in my initial post, surely when you download the 'windows support' software using BCA, doesnt doing that, setup the USB stick for use in Windows 10?
I've been able to download the 'windows support software' using BCA but, when I boot into Windows 10, Windows can't read the USB stick and wants to format it so, could you please 'talk me through' how to get this right so that I can reinstall the software from within Windows 10?
The USB was connected to the only port on the 12" MacBook and I launched Terminal an this was the result! Is this what you requested: (I've removed my personal info, with xxxx)
