Windows Disc Production U disk installation system

We have been using CD and DVD discs to install the operating system for a long time. As laptops continue to increase, something is about to change. In this case, you will need an external optical drive or USB device. There are several advantages to using a USB device:

When you want to install Windows when the netbook or CD-ROM is damaged, you need to create a live USB using an ISO image (requires extra work) Theory On, the transfer speed is faster, the installation process is faster, and the original installation media is protected from wear or tear. There are many ways to create a bootable USB device, and then most need to manually copy the file - making it error-prone. WinToFlash makes the whole task much simpler with its magic of automation.

Download WinToFlash here. This is a portable app, all you have to do is unzip the zip file and start. Start WinToFlash, insert the Windows CD/DVD, insert the USB flash device and specify the path. Click "Next" and wait for WinToFlash to create a bootable USB device from the installation media. Depending on the size of the installation media, it may take a certain amount of time.

WinToFlash can also be used to transfer pre-installed environments (PEs) to flash devices. Select the appropriate option to use on the Tasks tab.

Creating a bootable flash device from an ISO image is a bit of a hassle. WinToFlash does not allow you to specify an ISO image as the source for the WIndows file. To work around this limitation, you can do one of the following:

Extract the ISO file. Most compression and decompression software now extracts files from ISO images. I am using 7-zip. Mount the ISO image using a virtual drive (try the Virtual CD-ROM control panel) and specify the virtual device as the Windows file path.

The rest of the process has not changed, and a bootable USB device is available after successful completion.

I want to install Linux with a bootable flash device? Just think of the name suggesting that WinToFlash can only handle Windows installation media. If you want to install Linux with a USB device, we recommend that you take a look at UNetbootin. It handles ISO files very well, and some files can be downloaded automatically if you don't have it on your computer. If you already have Linux installed on another computer, you can also use the tools that come with many of the current distributions.

How can I check if my computer can boot from a USB device? That is the question I often ask. You can check the user manual of your computer to check if it can be booted from a USB device. If this is not good or if you are using a compatible machine, you can check if there is an option in the BIOS setup to boot from an external disk or USB device. If you have this option, make sure your computer is set to look for USB devices before booting from the hard drive.

After your installation is complete, I recommend that you move the USB device options back to their original order and set a password to protect the BIOS setup options to minimize the risk of your computer being compromised.
