How To Install Windows 8.1 From USB Guide/Tutorial (Easiest Method)

[@UsmanX]

The last video didn't check the source properly, there is an update 2, the august update is update 2, it's just that they've not named it update 2 publicly despite that being its internal name and that all the journalists have been referring it to what Microsoft has been code-naming it since they started working on it (8.1 Update was called 8.1 update 1 internally but called it 8.1 Update publicly, dropping the 1)

[@GotCritified]

Dear LINUS, I would like to inform you that: -You can boot windows 8 installation on uefi enabled pc from USB3. Ive tested that on mine and my friends mobo. As a matter of fact i was able to boot while having the flashdisk connected to the lg in-monitor usb 3 hub (21:9 ftw) -You should NOT use windows 7 tool (and any other ones) for pendrives bigger than 16Gb and here is why: That tool will try to force everything, even 256GB pendrives to FAT32 partition type. It will force-format it to Fat32 regardless of its size result being "strangly behaving" ~ 16GB drive with rest being unpartitioned space. . .that windows can not format. I am serious, if that happens standard format tool and windows disks management utility can not do anything to that drive, they could not even reformat back to standard size and partition type. This can potentially damage your pendrive. -You should instead (and in case that ^ happens) run cmd in administrator privilages and use diskpart utilities to force-format it to ntfs, then manualy do the bootsect.exe /NT60 thing and manualy copy the data from iso to pendrive partition. (alternatively you can use linux which can force more hardcore changes to the drive, and repair it) -Yes, you can without ANY issues boot from NTFS based removable storages, as long as you have uefi and win7/8/.1 installer. . . . Just saying.

[@monishbansal]

just google rufus and use that, its great!!

[@LordBoodan]

Just so you know, USB3 UEFI boot is dependent on motherboard manufacturer implementation, so it varies from board to board, but we can expect it to slowly become standard.

[@donlaraan6681]

How should it damage your pendrive? I mean if you got an problem with a disk regarding partition just use diskpart to clean the disk(clean will delete all partition informations) and create partition, format and set it active. I use it regularly to use ntfs partition on usb drives to install win8 and 7. Because i've created an combined wim (with win7 and 8.1 x86 and amd64), i have to use ntfs (wim size is roundabout 9gb)( BTW you do not need uefi for this. My computers don't have uefi and it works)

[@GotCritified]

Well, i dont trust automated solutions with my pendrive. Especialy if you make like Winxp + Win 7 +Win 8 + ubuntu + rescue/diagnostic distro of Arch all in one. . .if you dont do shit manualy itll brake.

[@TheRealEZOverdose]

cant boot from usb3 on a 1st gen sabertoothx79 board even with the bios from dec 2013. i also cant take bios screenshots unless the usb drive is formatted to fat32. septamus dave nailed it saying it varies from from board to board

[@AdrianJaden]

adza botchway Not really. I'll help you. 1) Get a 4GB USB ThumbDrive 2)Plug it in a computer with the Windows. 3)Download a Win 7, 8, 8.1 on a website and transfer it to the ThumbDrive. 4) Disconnect USB ThumbDrive 5)Plug it in a PC or Laptop Before or After depending on what the system does. 6) Look for the correct settings. If its all right, You are GOLDEN. 7) It should be starting up and installing Win 7, 8, or 8.1 depending on what the other PC runs on. 8) When it's done installing, boom! You are done! 9) You may unplug the USB ThumbDrive. This method is COMPLETELY LEGAL and FREE! You saved 100$ Hope this helps!

[@dash0173]

Adrian Jaden thank you. Dont you need to do something with iso burner or something tho?? Also, cant i just put the windows file onto an actual cd. I remember watching a video about that and it looked super easy so i might just do that instead of using a usb

Even though there are already software that allow you to have multi boot programs in a pen, there is always the need for discs in the way that you can give a disc to someone, for instance. They can be used as giveaway storage. They're also good to keep boot programs you don't use very frequently, or to backup extremely important data that really can't be deleted but fits in a disc or 2.

[@EnergyHubGaming]

Now do you have an ssd installation guide if you already have a hard drive with windows on it already?

[@matthewchua7221]

jus clone the whole drive over, then manually cut and paste your other files back to the HDD

[@SPARTAN26MiLLiX]

Matthew Chua what if your SSD doesn't have as much space as the used space on the HDD?

[@matthewchua7221]

Ok then you would have to backup all your files (everything except OS) onto another USB or whatever and then clone the HDD (with OS) to the SDD, then transfer the files from the USB drive back onto the HDD. Troublesome, but i think its the only way :(

[@EnergyHubGaming]

Matthew Chua Seems a helluva a lot more complicated than installing Windows and it merits a video tutorial because a lot of people buy ssds to put their system or will. Also how do you backup everything except for the OS? A 1 TB flashdrive or external drive would cost a lot.

[@risvegliarer814]

EnergyHubGaming 1 TB external hard drive is usually cheap. or just install windows on the new SSD and put the hdd as secondary drive, it's more faster that way.

This can't be done if you have a windows 8 licence, if you go to download the 8.1.iso it rejects your license key. I have ripped my windows 8 .iso but so far have not found a way to slipstream 8.1... Into it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@BallisticTech]

You cannot do it with OEM Key. You must have a retail version.

[@mctonale]

That doesn't seem fair, the end user is still able to download it from the store and should be entitled to create a USB.. So there is no way to slipstream it? Just because I am the "manufacturer" and the end user?

[@BallisticTech]

mctonale That seems to be the case. I would love it if someone corrected me here. It's seems like a dumb policy from our standpoint. We're paying for a valid copy of windows. I've run into this issue with my last 3 builds. Just tonight in fact. Had to rip the ISO off of the DVD. I feel like a lot of people are just going to go download jinky ISO's off of torrent sites because it's still faster than ripping a DVD for many people.

[@mctonale]

yer I guess that is an option but what are the chances of getting a genuine copy that hasn't been tampered with?

[@BallisticTech]

mctonale not something I'm willing to risk. I'd suggest buying an 8GB USB drive to use as a dedicated Windows install medium. That's what I've now done

I’m mad at your neighbors bovine heavy equipment while you’re trying to shoot a video

Seeing Linus back in 2014 and saying "Disk. I dont even have a disk to pull up and show you guys. Thats how arcade that technology is" is making me feel a bit very old XD
