Using the Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB flash drive?

Hi,

I have a couple of questions. I have an Inspiron 5758 laptop with UEFI.

1. If I create a bootable USB flash drive for a Windows 10 clean installation using the Media Creation Tool ..will I have any problems with Secure Boot being enabled when i install Windows 10 with the created USB? (I don't really want to be messing around in the BIOS disabling Secure Boot) Ive read that if you format the USB to FAT32 before downloading and using the Media Creation Tool that everything will be OK. The article I read said that it stops the Media Creation tool from attempting to Format the USB with NTFS. It said that was what used to cause the Secure Boot issue. Does anybody know if this is correct or not? I would prefer to use the Media Creation Tool method as long as it works with Secure Boot enabled rather than using Rufus...if it works correctly?

2. For future reference..Can you use the created Windows 10 UEFI bootable USB flash drive to directly replace damaged or corrupted files?..i.e if Sfc and DISM don't work? Years ago if you had a missing or corrupted system file you could repair/replace it by putting in the Windows installation disc and it would copy it directly from there...or cant that be done anymore with a USB flash drive?

Thanks
