[Tutorial] How to Install Windows from a USB/Flash Drive.

Note :
- All links are given at the bottom and are free.

Things you'll need :
- A windows .iso image.
- A VD like Daemon Tools. [Unless you already have an installation disk and want to install this to another computer]
- Wintoflash.
- A formatted flash drive.
Scroll down for links for these.

Things you need to know :
- VD = Virtual Drive.
- A bit of experience.

We've all come across reasons why we need to install windows from a USB Drive such as having a Netbook with no external disk drives, or having no CD/DVDs to burn your .iso image to, so here's a quick tutorial on how to install windows without it.

Open the Windows image (.iso) file in your Virtual Drive and Mount it. [Or Alternatively, if you have a disk pop it in to your disk drive.]

If you've downloaded WinToFlash, you'll realise that it's in a .zip format, so you'll have to extract it using a program like WinRAR or 7zip. (scroll down for links).

Now you'll get a folder. Open the folder and run WinToFlash(.exe).

Click on the tick, and a wizard will start, Click on Next.

For "Windows Files Path" select your VD. (or if you have a disk, select your disk drive).
For USB Drive select your flash drive.

Now just click on next, and let the program do it's job.

After you're done insert the USB to a computer that you want to install windows on, and boot with the USB.

Links :
WinToFlash.
Daemon tools.
7zip.
WinRAR.

wintoflash is no longer a valid option for making Windows bootable especially for Windows 10.

Here are a few nice alternatives in 2019:
