The process is quite simple using Rufus at the link provided. You just need to connect the device and choose the correct drive. The tool automatically handles downloading the ISO file for you if you prefer a more convenient method.
You're looking for a bootable image of the correct iOS file for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. That's what you're trying to download!
You can find the required version from Microsoft's official page. If your license is OEM, there are mirror sites available. Due to licensing rules, Microsoft prohibits using OEM keys for downloads on their site.
The issue is that the download lands straight into the Windows Disc image tool, which isn’t suitable for burning to a USB drive. Since your USB is already set up for the correct format, Rufus requires an ISO file, but it’s rejecting that because it expects a disc burn. You’ll need to convert the downloaded file into an ISO before using it with Rufus.
It seems you're confused about the steps for saving a file. You mentioned choosing where to save it and then using Rufus to open it afterward. It looks like you might be mixing actions together. First, download the file to your device, then select it in Rufus after the download finishes.
You're trying to get the file, but the system keeps launching the Windows disc burner instead of letting you download directly. You need to figure out how to skip that step and either copy or burn it to your own drive.
And you can't cancel that? It really sounds like you have some setting where you open download once its ready. You can try with another browser. That part is browser issue at most.
What browser are you using? I've got everything except the old IE installed on two computers. It's ready to save files and do nothing once it's done.
