Windows on USB?

[Guest]

This might seem a little bit noobish but how do i get hold of windows 8.1 on a usb?

 

Do i buy a retail disk and then move the content on it over to a usb?

Do you get your OS on a usb when you buy retail?

 

How does it work?

you can create an iso of the disc and copy that to a usb.

or download the iso and get hold of a 8.1 key.

Buy a usb and download the .iso from Microsoft.

you can download the iso and use a program like 7zip to extract the iso and copy the contents to the root of a usb drive. If you are on windows 8, you can mount the iso and copy the files over as well.
