Why will you even need to install Windows from a flash drive?

There are many reasons why this may be useful to you.
One of them being the fact that the disc drive of your computer is faulty.
Another reason is that if you are using a mini laptop.
This method can also be used conveniently if you are "on the move" engineer.

MATERIALS NEEDED:
1) Windows installation disc
This is where you copy the installation files to your flash

2) Flash Drive (At least 4GB for Windows 7 and cool

3) Windows to flash Software

Also, Your computer needs to be able to boot from an external media or removable drive.
Some old computers do not support or have this functionality.
You should also know how to enter the setup of your computer to change the boot sequence/boot order in to select USB as first boot device.

COMMONLY MADE MISTAKES:
1)Copying the windows files directly from the installation disc to the flash drive
2) Forgetting to set external or removable media as first boot device
