Install Windows 7 From USB Drive

I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.

The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer. See how we installed Ubuntu from USB using UNetbootin here.

Before you begin, you will require the following:

• USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
• Windows 7 ISO Image file
• UNetbootin

Note: If UNetbootin doesn’t work, try out the Microsoft’s official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.

1) Download Windows 7 to your PC or Laptop. This will be in the ISO format.

2)Download this Microsoft USB Tool and install it on to your computer.

3) Run the USB application and choose ISO file from its location.

4) Choose the 32 bit 64 bit option accordingly and click next.

5) Now Select the USB device option since you are not installing it using the DVD drive.

6) Choose the removable drive to which you install. Make sure you have enough space on your USB drive.

7) Once you have selected the removable USB drive, the bootable USB device is generated.

8} Its done – Your bootable USB drive is now created and now you can use this removable drive to install windows 7 on to your netbook or laptop.

 Simply plug in the USB drive and and select USB boot option from the BIOS and restart the system. You will be automatically guided through the windows 7 installation process.
