Method 1: Creating bootable USB with the help of a third-party tool.

NOTE: In this guide, we are preparing bootable USB on a Windows 8 PC but you can use this method to create bootable USB on Windows 7 as well.

Even though there are bunch of good tools out there, including Microsoft’s own Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool, we’re going to use Rufus software, as it’s the best tool out there for the job.

Step 1: Connect your USB flash drive that you would like to install Windows on your PC and backup all data from the USB drive before proceeding further as we’re going to erase all data by formatting it.

Step 2: Head over to this page and download the latest version of Rufus tool. The download size is under 0.5 MB.

Step 3: Double-click on the downloaded Rufus.exe file to launch it (it’s a standalone tool). You will see a small dialog box asking “Do you want to allow Rufus to check for application updates?” message. Click Yes or No button to continue.

Step 4: Select your USB flash drive under Device drop down menu, select Partition scheme and target system type as MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI computers, and select File system as NTFS.

Method 2: Preparing bootable USB using Command Prompt (without using extra tool).

Step 1: Open Command Prompt as administrator. To do this, in Windows 8, simultaneously press Windows + X keys to see Power Menu in the bottom left corner of the screen, click Command Prompt (admin), and then click Yes for the UAC prompt to launch elevated prompt.
