The Windows 7
USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file to
turn into a bootable USB flash drive or DVD.
When you
purchase Windows 7 from Microsoft Store, you have the option to download an ISO
file or compressed files. The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to
create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file on a USB flash drive or a DVD. To
create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run
the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows
7 directly from the USB flash drive or DVD.
Overview
When you
download Windows from Microsoft Store, you have two options: You can download a
collection of compressed files, or you can download an ISO file. An ISO file
combines all the Windows installation files into a single uncompressed file.
If you choose to
download an ISO file so you can create a bootable file from a DVD or USB drive,
copy the Windows ISO file onto your drive and then run the Windows USB/DVD
Download Tool. Then simply install Windows onto your computer directly from
your USB or DVD drive.
When you
download the ISO file, you must copy it onto a USB or DVD. When you're ready to
install Windows, insert the USB drive or DVD with the ISO file on it and then
run Setup.exe from the root folder on the drive.
This allows you
to install Windows onto your machine without having to first run an existing
operating system. If you change the boot order of drives in your computer's
BIOS, you can run the Windows installation directly from your USB drive or DVD
when you first turn on your computer. Please see the documentation for your
computer for information about how to change the BIOS boot order of drives.
Making copies
To install the
software, you can make one copy of the ISO file on a disc, USB flash drive, or
other media.
After you’ve
installed the software and accepted the license terms that accompany the
software, those license terms apply to your use of the software. The license
terms for Windows permit you to make one copy of the software as a back-up copy
for re-installation on the licensed computer. If you do not delete your copy of
the ISO file after installing the Windows software, the copy of the ISO file
counts as your one back-up copy.
If you need to
download the software again, you can go to your Download Purchase History in
your Microsoft Store account and access the download there.
