If you need to create a bootable media from a Windows OS-supported file, you will need this tool. The Windows USB/DVD Download Tool is an essential utility designed for users who need to create bootable media from a Windows ISO file. This tool allows for the creation of a bootable USB drive or DVD to install Windows directly onto a computer, making it invaluable for installations without an existing operating system or when upgrading from an older version of Windows.

This utility handles the critical task of converting ISO files into bootable media. The ISO file, which encompasses all the Windows installation files in an uncompressed format, is the primary and only format supported by the tool. By facilitating this conversion, the tool ensures that users can create installation media straightforwardly, maintaining the integrity of the Windows installation files.

The Windows USB/DVD Download Tool is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring an intuitive interface that guides the user through the process of creating bootable media. Users begin by selecting the ISO file through the tool's interface and then choosing either a USB or DVD as the media type for creating the bootable device.

Here is how to use it according to Microsoft:

  1. Click the Windows START button, and click WINDOWS USB/DVD DOWNLOAD TOOL in the ALL PROGRAMS list to open the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool.
  2. In the SOURCE FILE box, type the name and path of your Windows ISO file, or click BROWSE and select the file from the OPEN dialog box. Click NEXT.
  3. Select USB DEVICE to create a copy on a USB flash drive or select DVD disk to create a copy on a DVD disk.
  4. If you are copying the file to a USB flash drive, select your USB device in the drop-down list and click BEGIN COPYING. If you are copying the file up to a DVD, click BEGIN BURNING.

The tool is great for both IT professionals who need to set up several machines and everyday users who want to upgrade or reinstall their Windows operating system. Its straightforward approach removes the complexity of installation processes.

Bottom Line

Windows Game/USB Download Tool is a very useful and efficient program for creating bootable Windows installation media.

Developer’s Description

By Microsoft
Create a copy of your Windows ISO file on removable media.

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.

The ISO file contains all the Windows 7 installation files combined into a single uncompressed file. When you download the ISO file, you need to copy it to some medium in order to install Windows 7. This tool allows you to create a copy of the ISO file to a USB flash drive or a DVD. To install Windows 7 from your USB flash drive or DVD, all you need to do is insert the USB flash drive into your USB port or insert your DVD into your DVD drive and run Setup.exe from the root folder on the drive.

Note: You cannot install Windows 7 from the ISO file until you copy it to a USB flash drive or DVD with the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool and install from there.

The copy of the ISO file that the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool creates is bootable. Bootable media allows you to install Windows 7 without having to first run an existing operating system on your machine. If you change the boot order of drives in your computer's BIOS, you can run the Windows 7 installation directly from your USB flash drive or DVD when you turn on your computer. Please see the documentation for your computer for information on how to change the BIOS boot order of drives.

You may make one copy of the ISO file on a disc, USB flash drive or other media in order to install the software on a computer. Once you have installed the software on a computer, the license terms that accompany the software apply to your use of the software and replace these terms. The license terms for Windows 7, once accepted, permit you to make one copy of the software as a back-up copy for reinstallation on the licensed computer. If you do not delete the copy of the ISO file you made to install the software on your computer, then the copy of the ISO file constitutes your back-up copy.
