I’m trying to figure this out, but it’s a bit confusing. Yesterday I installed the final part for my new PC and it works perfectly in BIOS. But since an OS is required, I asked a friend to make a Windows 7 ISO disk. They just placed the ISO on it, and we tried using the Windows USB tool. We discovered the key was fake. Now we have a genuine key and a Windows 7 Pro x64 ISO file. At the last step of the tool, it says the files couldn’t be copied. I think the USB device might be faulty—my drive is labeled as 4GB, but it only shows 3.6 GB even after formatting. If you know anything about this, please help me out! Thanks for your time.
