Win7 usb install

[SpongeBob]

Hey guys,

Can you guys give me a install guide for dummies version of how to do this properly? Or do you have a link that explains this clearly?

So far I have win7 as an iso.
I have a flash drive.

But the rest of it gets a little confusing and I don't want to mess this stuff up.

Before I install the OS I want to enable AHCI for my SSD as well correct?

Download Rufus and double click it, insert usb jumpdrive, on rufus click on the disk/iso icon and point to your dvd or downloaded .iso of windows, click start and let id do its magic and it should be done in a few minutes.

Another vote for the Microsoft USB/DVD download tool
It's idiot proof.. Works for Windows 8 and Windows 2008 Server as well

I have always used this guide and it works great:

1. Format the USB as NTFS
2. Mount the Windows iso using VCD or whatever
3. Copy everything from the mounted iso to the USB stick
4. Install

When I downloaded Win8 I had it make the USB install and dloaded the DVD ISO too.
