Windows 8.1 Question

[flibberdipper]

So I have the Windows 8.1 ISO sitting on my hard drive. But I don't know how to make it into a bootable USB. I probably won't be able to test it until tomorrow, where I have my computer that will actually work with it (darn 32-bit netbooks), so there might be a little bit of a delay in telling you if it works or not.

 

But I digress, the only thing I really want to know is how to make a bootable USB stick with it. It's 8GB, so there's no need to worry about it's size, although it's damn slow.

So then PowerISO would work?

I'm probably going to get hate for this but the USB/DVD tool from Microsoft works really well. I used it for a Server 2012 Essentials R2 install and had no problems.

So it should work with Windows 8.1 with no problems

This.  Or if that doesn't work, you can do it manually: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/how_install_windows_8_flash_drive_31384?page=0,1

I always use the win7toUSB or something like that. It works for windows8 and is really easy to use.

It worked. Too bad Windows 8 is buggy as hell with Windows 7 drivers. Wonder why?
