How to install Windows from a flash drive

To install the Windows system on a computer or laptop, an optical drive is usually used in which the disk is inserted - most often this DVD system. However, in a situation where the drive is missing or tritely broken, it is allowed to install Windows from removable media, then you mean from the flash drive. Consider how to do it.

If you already have an image with the operating system you need - it's great, but if not, then go to his search, and here absolutely no matter where you find it. In case of difficulty in this issue, use the famous torrent resource "Rutracker * ORG" And download a pirate copy from there, for example, Windows 7.

You will also need a program (you can borrow there in the Torrent) to create a bootable flash drive - "WinsetUpFromUSB" and the USB Flash itself actually. Prefer the device with a volume of at least 4 GB, because some operating systems include both the driver package also, which increases the size of the installation file several times.

Insert the flashlight into the PC and format it in the NTFS file system - open the conductor, select your drive, click on it with the right mouse, and in the open window, go down to the "Format" item. Do not forget to copy important data from the flash drive if you use the available device.

Run the WinsetUpFromUSB utility executive file. In the program window that opens, your flash drive must appear in the first line, which is in a PC, and you just need to activate the checkbox at the desired item, depending on the Windows you selected, and specify the path to the installation files unpacked from the image using the archiver. Next, press the "Go" button and expect WinsetUpFromUSB to record the necessary Windows components to the drive.

Exploct the download from the flash drive through a separate window "BOOT MENU". Go to "Boot Menu" by rebooting and retaining the keys that you can find out when the system starts - it is prescribed by white font on the black screen of the download and may be: "ESC", "F5", "F8", "F9" "F10 "," F11 "or" F12 ". Or set the USB-HDD priority through the BIOS Main Window. If you find it difficult to open "BIOS SETUP", then on our website, read detailed instructions: "How to open BIOS on a laptop"and "How to choose download from a flash drive".

Having a bootable USB boot flash drive, run the setup file, wait a bit while temporary files are copied and the preparation for the installation will begin. Next, follow the Windows Installer Tips.

The process of installing Windows from the flash drive is absolutely no different from the installation from the disk, the difference consists only only in the preparation of the bootable carrier.
