How to Create Windows 7 Installation Media

After downloading the setup file (Windows 7 .iso), you need to create a bootable USB drive for installation.

Note: Ensure your USB device has at least 4 GB of storage capacity.

The suggested application for this procedure is:

Rufus

  1. Get Rufus for free here.
  2. Scroll down to the Download section and select the newest version of Rufus.
  3. Plug in your USB drive and open the Rufus application.
  4. Click on Select and locate the Windows 7 .iso file you downloaded.
  5. Click on Start and wait for Rufus to create the bootable USB drive.
    6. Note: A popup window named Customize Windows Installation will appear. Select Disable Data Collection and wait for the process to finish.
  6. Once the process is finished (progress bar reaches 100%), click on Close. Your bootable USB drive is now ready for Windows 7 installation.
    7. Note: For PCs released after 2020, select the GPT partition scheme. For PCs released before 2020, select MBR.
