Installing Windows 8 from a USB drive is relatively straightforward, but there are a few things you'll need to know before you get started. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps of installing Windows 8 from a USB drive.
Gathering Your Supplies
Before you can install Windows 8 from a USB drive, you'll need to gather a few supplies. You'll need a Windows 8 installation disc or ISO file, a USB drive with at least 8GB of storage, and a Windows 8 product key. If you don't have a product key, you can purchase one from Microsoft's website. Once you have all of the supplies, you can move on to the next step.
Creating a Bootable USB Drive
The next step is to create a bootable USB drive. To do this, you'll need to download the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool from Microsoft's website. Once it's downloaded, install the tool and launch it. The tool will prompt you to select the Windows 8 ISO file and the USB drive you want to use. Once you select the ISO file and USB drive, the tool will create a bootable USB drive.
Booting from the USB Drive
Once you've created the bootable USB drive, you can boot from it. To do this, you'll need to set your computer or laptop to boot from the USB drive. To do this, you'll need to enter the BIOS. To enter the BIOS, restart your computer and press a specific key when you see the boot screen. The key you need to press will vary depending on your computer's make and model, so you'll need to refer to your computer's manual for more information.
Once you enter the BIOS, you'll need to find the boot menu and set the USB drive as the primary boot device. Once you've done this, save the changes and restart your computer. The computer should now boot from the USB drive.
Installing Windows 8
Once your computer has booted from the USB drive, you'll see the Windows 8 installation menu. Select the language you want to use and click on the "Install Now" button. On the next screen, enter your product key and click on the "Next" button. On the next screen, you'll need to accept the license agreement. Once you've done this, click on the "Install" button to begin the installation process.
The installation process may take a few minutes to complete, so be patient. Once the installation is complete, Windows 8 will automatically restart and you'll be taken to the setup wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
