How To Create Windows 7 Bootable USB Flash Drive | Windows 7 USB Installer (2023)
Timecodes:
in today's video I'm going to show you
how to set up a Windows 7 bootable USB
stick using a tool called Rufus it just
takes a couple of steps so let's take a
look
we're at our Windows 10 desktop I'm
going to open up my browser and the
website that you want to go to is
rufus.ie I'll make sure I link that in
the description below what we're going
to do over here is we're just going to
scroll down a little bit here and we're
going to be downloading the tool here
Rufus 3.21 is the latest one that's out
I'm going to click on that and it's
going to automatically download it's not
a very big file it's just under 1.5 Megs
we'll go ahead and click on that to open
it if you get prompted like this just
say yes now it wants to do an update
policy if you wanted to check for
updates online I don't see any issues
with this but if you want you can say no
I'll say yes to that so it automatically
updates I'm going to minimize my browser
so we can take a look at the Rufus
window over here right now I don't have
any devices plugged in I'm going to be
plugging in this USB Kingston flash
drive I find the Kingston drives and the
patreon drives very reliable there we go
and I'll make sure I link it in the
description if you want to take a look
at the hardware I'm using so right now
for the boot selection we have the
option for non-bootable freedos or disk
ISO image we're just going to be leaving
it as disk ISO image and then over here
on this Lex section we can select to
download now this saves a lot of hassle
of you trying to find the iso it'll get
it for you so go ahead and select that
all right so we selected the download in
the list and now we're just going to
click on download and it's going to open
up a wizard for us so inside the wizard
we have the option to select our version
we have the option for Windows 11 10 8 7
and so on down we're going to be
selecting Windows 7 over here and now
we're going to click on continue and the
next option is the release so we have
sp1 which is the service pack one option
we'll select that as well which is the
only one there and then we can click on
continue and then the addition so the
addition that we have in this list is we
have ultimate professional or Home
Premium uh we'll select the ultimate one
since that includes everything and then
we can click on the continue button so
now the last option over here is
language the English us is the one
that's selected it's the only one that's
in here we can go ahead and click on
continue now and the architecture will
be x64 because we're using a 64-bit
desktop now if you have an older desktop
you might want to select the x86 that's
a 32-bit installation but in most cases
the x64 bit is going to be the one that
you use if you want to download using
your browser you can select this option
or you can just click on download and
it'll download the file straight from
here we'll go ahead and click on that
and it just needs to download the image
into a location on your PC now it's
going to download this ISO image which
you can delete later it's a fairly big
file so you might want to delete that
one this is complete so you select your
location I'm just going to leave it in
the default downloads folder and then
click on Save and it's going to go ahead
and start downloading this file this
could take a minute or two depending on
your internet connection what I'll do is
I'll jump over to the next step
okay the download is now complete under
image options we have two options in
here so we have the standard
installation which is when you're going
to be installing it on a PC and then we
have Windows to go Windows to go is a
portable version which allows you to
install the operating system on USB
drive so you can just plug it into the
computer and run it off the USB drive
but in this case we're going to be using
the standard Windows installation we're
going to be leaving everything else as
default so the partition scheme is going
to be GPT Target system is going to be
UEFI and the format Options under here
we're going to give it a label and the
label we're going to give this one is
I'll just give it Windows 7. you can
call it whatever you'd like and for file
system NTFS is what we have selected and
for cluster size we're going to be using
the default 4096 and the status is ready
all we have to do now is click on the
start button and it'll begin to format
we get a warning over here so once you
click on OK it'll be formatted if you
have anything important on your USB
drive make sure you copy that off all
right so go ahead and click on OK and
it's deleting everything and now it's
going to start writing the files onto a
USB drive now this process might take a
few minutes what I'll do is I'll jump
over to the next step the process is now
complete we get a ready status over here
we can go ahead and close this and I'm
going to open up my Explorer inside my
file explorer I'm just going to go over
to this PC and you can see that I have
my USB listed in here as Windows 7 and
it has an icon over here for Windows 7
Ultimate and that's how you do it that's
how you create a Windows 7 bootable USB
stick I hope you found this video useful
