Create A Bootable Windows 8 Developer Preview DVD or USB
Key
|
|
|
|
Using the Microsoft Windows 7
USB/DVD Download Tool you can create either a bootable DVD
or USB key from an .iso file.
|
| |
- Download and install the
Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.
- Once that's done open the tool
via the desktop shortcut or through the link at Start >
All Programs > Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool > Windows
7 USB/DVD Download Tool.
- Use the [Browse] button to navigate to where the .iso
file of Windows 8 Developer Preview is located.
|
|
|
- You can make either a USB key or a DVD. In this case
it will be a USB device
|
|
|
- If the USB key isn't already inserted, do so at this
point. The USB key must be 4GB minimum size or larger,
but no smaller.
- Use the drop down box to locate the USB key.
- Click the [Begin Copying] button.
|
|
|
- If there are any files or data on the USB key you'll
see a couple of screens saying the device must be erased
and requesting confirmation you are sure it's alright to
delete the files. You can still cancel at this point,
save the data on the key, and start over.
|
|
|
- A progress indicator follows the file copy and USB
key creation process.
|
|
|
- The process completes and the USB key has been
created. It can now be used just like a bootable DVD to
install Windows 8.

- Important Information -
The Elder Geek sites contain many articles and suggestions for
modifying the Windows operating system. I've tried these
tweaks and tips on many systems. Sometimes they work,
sometimes not. The point is, ensure you have a current,
tested backup of all system and data files and understand
how to restore the system in case something goes very wrong.
You can still yell at me, but I assume no responsibility for
your actions and use of the information and disclaim any
legal responsibility for any consequences of such actions. |
