Detailed Procedure for Creating Windows 8 USB Installation Media

After securing your Windows 8 .iso file, you can proceed to create a bootable USB drive.

Important: A 4 GB USB stick is required for a 32-bit .iso file, whereas an 8 GB stick is necessary for a 64-bit version.

To complete this task, the following software is recommended:

Rufus

  1. Click here to download Rufus for free.
  2. Navigate to the Download section and select the latest version of Rufus to download.
  3. Plug in your USB and launch the Rufus application.
  4. Select the Select button to locate and choose the Windows 8 .iso file you wish to use.
  5. Hit the Start button and allow Rufus to generate the bootable USB stick.
  6. Once the setup completes (progress indicator at 100%), press Close. Your drive is now ready for Windows 8 installation.
Tip: Choose the GPT partition scheme for PCs manufactured after 2020, or MBR for older models.
