Bootable Windows 8.1 USB with UEFI.

ThatSpecialGuy

On top of it being full lazy mode and some/a lot of people probably already heard of it. Thought I should just drop a small guide on how it works. It's pretty straight forward, though. First you'll need the mediacreationtool: http://bit.ly/1CElN5o

 

Once you've downloaded the tool, right click and run it as administrator:

Once it booted up you can choose the language, version of windows 8.1 and 32/64-bits.

On the next screen you can either decide to download it as a .iso file, or make it write it to a usb stick. For this guide we'll obviously be using the usb flash station option. The minimum amount of space you'll need on the usb is 4gb:

 Now choose the drive letter your usb is on. For this guide I'm using my old ps3 savedata backup usb:

Don't forget to take off all the important files, cause it WILL format your usb. Now you just let it download:

Once it's finished you'll have your bootable windows 8.1 UEFI. It's pretty easy and straight forward, but I thought this would've been the funner way of sharing this tool with others, haha.
