1.)
Boot Windows Setup Disk
  (Self-explanatory)

2.)
Shift+F10
  (Opens a Command Prompt window)

3.)
diskpart
  (Starts diskpart)

4.)
list disk
list partition
  (Make note of USB Install Stick letter)
    (List's all disks and partitions)

5.)
select disk #
  (# is disk you are installing on)
    (Selects the disk #)

6.)
clean
  (**THIS WILL ERASE THE ENTIRE SELECTED DISK**)

7.)
create partition efi size=260 offset=6144
format fs=fat32 unit=4096 label=EFI quick
assign letter=U
  (Creates the EFI partition)

8.)
create partition primary size=450
format fs=ntfs label=Recovery quick
set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
  (Note: 14 Zeros)
    (This creates the small recovery partition that holds the WinRE WIM)

9.)
create partition msr size=16
  (This reserves a tiny amount of space for conversion to a Dynamic Disk)

10.)
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs label=Windows quick
assign letter=W
  (This creates the Windows partition in what is left of the free space)

11.)

  (Change "D:" to USB Install Stick letter) (Change "index:1" to the "Index : #" from the previous step)
    (This applies the Windows image to W:)

15.)
bcdboot W:\Windows /s U: /f UEFI
  (This installs the Windows bootloader files to the EFI partition)

16.)
