How to install windows 8 from flash drive

Hello Andrea.

With the proliferation of Netbooks and budget-level laptops doing away with an optical drive to lower costs, it has become a trend for software developers to enable installation of their applications through storage devices that connect via USB.

Microsoft realizes this and has made it very easy for its users to install their operating systems via USB flash drives. They started it with Windows 7 with their Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool.

Instructions and download link can be found here:

The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool works for Windows 8 as well. Basically, you just need to plug in your USB flash disk, click "Browse" and select the ISO file.

The tool will do everything else for you

The software is a GUI so it is very easy to use it.

Dear,

It is much easy to install any window from a flash drive.

For this, your flash drive should be boot able.

Otherwise you cannot run windows setup.

You have downloaded ISO file.

So, first unpack that ISO file.

After that, use software to make your USB Flash drive boot able.

I suggest you to use Win to Flash software to make your flash boot able.
