Windows usb flash.

In bios when usb plugged into mobo. Does the usb need a driver so it can actually read the usb and put windows on the pc?

I don't think so. If you made it a bootable USB then it should boot. You can't install windows on a usb flashdrive like you install it on a HDD or SSD though. You need 3rd party apps to do or using windows tools.

The windows tool which i used, to put windows on the usb. Which then i later will use to install windows on my new oc build. If you get it =). Do i make it a bootable usb in bios before installing or do i have to do something with it before plugging it into my new build?

You simply plug it in then set it 1st boot then let it boot. Or F11 or what ever key to go to select bootable drive option then select the usb to boot.

That should do it, in the boot menu, you should see the key. I just tried it, and can confirm that it will work.
