Good day!

 

So I have come to reach out for help on how to fresh install a Win7 from a flash drive.

 

Here's the story:

So the new pc have brought to life, I borrowed a CD containing Win7 installer and stuff, and currently I'm copying the contents to my flash drive. Now here's the problem, I'm very new to this topic, hell even my friend tells me what to do but unfortunately, I don't understand shit because I'm anxious at doing this crucial stage. 

 

Here's my question, once I've copied everything to the drive, and I chuck the flash drive to the pc. How am I able to install the OS from the flash drive to the pc? Just a heads up, the pc is completely new. It has nothing but BIOS on it.

 

Please help me, it would mean the world to me if I am able to run my new pc. Thank you very much for the help.

Copying the files on to the USB won't anything. You need to make the UBS bootable and you'll need a Windows ISO Image. 

 

Go to this link, you'll need to enter the Key before you download the image. Then use Rufus which allows you to create a bootable drive.

Just a tip for when you have it ready to install, unless you have the usb 3.0 drivers on the flash drive, use usb 2 as it saves a lot of hassle.

Third tip. You can make image from borrowed DVD by using software such as UltraISO. And then Rufus or Microsofts own tool to "burn" that image to USB.
