I’ve set up Windows from CDs multiple times but never from a USB drive. Could you clarify the process for transferring the ISO to a USB stick? Also, what are the steps for booting from it afterward? Are there any precautions I should take during this setup?
1. Obtain your ISO file from the Windows download page (needs your product key)
2. Locate and download the Windows USB/DVD installation tool
3. Install the tool on your device
4. Launch the tool, select your ISO, verify enough space on the USB, and proceed
5. Choose next, click USB device, start copying; be aware it will reformat the USB—confirm yes
Wait about 20 minutes for the process. If you encounter any issues after completion, feel free to mention your name so I can assist. Tip: Once you have a working bootable USB, you can restore your files without disrupting the installation, such as saving photos or music there.
