Some people think you must use a USB 2.0 port for Windows 8.1 installation from an ISO, but you might be able to work with a USB 3.0 drive instead. Since you only have a 3.0 drive, consider using a larger one (over 4GB) if possible.

I have installed Windows 8.1 using USB 3.0 several times with no issues, it's not a problem.

You purchase it from Newegg and receive a download version with an ISO link and key. You then use a tool to mount it on your USB drive, making it bootable for the new system.
