I regularly create bootable installation media with custom images via USB on flash drives, external hard drives, and SATA SSD’s connected via USB to SATA adapter. If your PC has UEFI, the USB flash drive needs to be formatted as FAT32 and your BIOS should allow booting from it when it reads the contents of the EFI directory. If your computer only has a BIOS mode and not UEFI, the USB media needs to have the boot loader properly written to it which the media creation tool will do (or Rufus is another tool you could use). You should also be able to go into the BIOS and modify the boot order there as an alternate way to boot from USB. Most computers will let you choose the boot device by hitting a key like F12 or some other key. Use the media creation tool to create the USB media also if you’re not very experienced. That being said, I’d use the media creation tool as people have suggested so it will make media that fits, or use a USB flash drive that’s large enough. It looks like you can burn them across discs and the setup program will prompt for them.m from something I found. I’ve done that many times to make custom installation media with files that don’t exceed the FAT32 limit of 4GB. I’ve not personally tried it with a multi-disc DVD installation, but you can use DISM to split the install.wim file into multiple swm files of whatever size you want.
