Hey there! I see you're starting fresh and need help setting up Windows 8 or 8.1 on a new PC via USB. You mentioned wiping the HDD because your old system wasn't great, and you tried using an ISO from a Windows 7 USB/DVD tool but got an error about an invalid ISO. Since you have the original Windows 8 ISO from when you bought the PC, it should work if you connect it properly. Just make sure to use the correct ISO file and follow the installation steps carefully. Let me know if you need more details!

The recommended method is to use UltraISO, which reliably works with Windows ISOs. The trial should function properly. Launch the ISO in UltraISO and proceed to Bootable > Write disk image.
