And the format program doesn't even open from the right click menu. File System shown as Unkown in properties. The drive appears as Removable Disk (H as it should but it is Greyed out just like Hidden Files are shown, when I open My Computer. Long story short I wanted to restore my USB back for personal use. Anyway, whatever its purpose was, it didnt work. Note that as far as I understand, this flash does NOT include setup for installing windows, but acts as an external HDD with windows installed and ready to be accessed. So I downloaded WinToUSB and made a 'Windows to Go' Bootable flash using it with Microsoft's official Win10 ISO.

This is my first ever post after tons of experience watching people solve problems here so it's my last hope, this IS however going to be a long post so I also apologize and ask for your patience.
