Installing Windows 8 OS from USB is working faster than using DVD.
There are two ways available to do this!


  • Using CMD
  • Using Software


Now will share about using CMD
First we need
1. Windows 8 Setup i.e iso file
2. USB drive more than 4GB
3. You can use Windows 7 or Vista!!
4. Utility to mount iso files

Follow the Steps:

1. Insert the pen drive to your system
2. Click Start button and type cmd and right click it and choose Run as Administrator or press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
