Hey guys so I'm still a noob with PC's so I couldn't help a friend of mine, but he was wondering if there was anyway to boot a new PC with windows 7 for free with a USB?
Any help is welcome as it would more than likely be better than mine.

Thanks to those who help

(P.S wasn't sure where to put this so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place)

If you download a Windows 7 ISO from somewhere then move it onto a memory stick you should be able to boot from USB and load it that way. If not burn it onto a disk and boot from that.

Hope that made sense, if not let me know and ill try and explain better.

Unfortunately, its a bit more complicated with a usb. You will need the windows USB/DVD Tool.

But you can use a tool like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a DVD much easier.

Make sure you are familar with the BIOS settings, and boot settings.

Booting an ISO image from USB is easier and quicker than burning it to a DVD, I do it all the time at work.

This tool is free and does the job perfectly!
