How to create a Windows 7 bootable USB
The USB/DVD Download Tool is discontinued. While Rufus is an option, its open-source nature may raise security concerns and installation can be tricky.
iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows provides a simpler method to create a Windows 7 bootable USB in a few easy steps.
Steps
- Install iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows.
- Connect an empty USB drive (minimum 32 GB).
- Open "Download and create boot disk" > select "Windows" > "Create Windows OS USB Installer"."
- Choose your USB as the target disk and click "Select".
- Pick Windows 7 and click "Start creating boot disk" > "Yes".
The software will download the ISO and automatically create the bootable USB.
Booting from the USB:
- Insert the Windows 7 bootable USB into the target PC.
- Restart and enter Boot Menu/BIOS (HP: F9/Esc | Dell: F12 | Lenovo: F12 | Acer: F12 | ASUS: Esc/F8 | MSI: F11).
- Select the USB as the boot device.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to install Windows 7.
Clone Windows 7 PC to make a bootable copy
iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows can also clone a Windows 7 system partition to a USB drive, allowing direct boot from the external drive without installation. Useful for testing or recovering non-booting PCs.
- Install iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Windows and connect a USB drive larger than the system partition.
- Select the Source OS disk and check the system partition.
- Click "Select a destination disk" and choose the USB drive.
