For those who have an ISO of Windows 8 and wish to create a bootable USB rather than buring the ISO to DVD, this guide is for you. Using a Windows 7 bootable USB tool, you can create your bootable USB on a 4GB minimum USB drive.

First, download the Windows 7 bootable USB tool here. After you have downloaded the ISO from Microsoft (or wherever else you may have obtained Windows 8), run the tool, select the ISO, and then select the USB drive. The process is very simple. After it has completed, you will have a bootable Windows 8 USB.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
