How to Make a Bootable USB Drive for Windows 7 with UEFI/EFI Support

Are you looking to create a bootable USB drive for Windows 7 on a new computer with UEFI/EFI firmware? Look no further! This article will guide you through the process step by step, ensuring that your USB drive is compatible with your UEFI/EFI system.

Preparation is Key

Before we begin, make sure that your BIOS/UEFI settings are configured to enable Legacy Boot mode. To do this, restart your computer and enter the Boot Device menu by pressing a key such as F2 or Del. This menu may look different depending on your computer model and Windows version.

If you don't see a Boot Device menu when plugging in your USB drive, check your BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure that it is configured to boot from a USB drive. You can refer to our 'Boot from USB Drive' guide for more information.

Software Requirements

You will need software to write the ISO image to your USB drive or an alternative such as Easy USB Creator 2.0 by NeoSmart or the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool by Microsoft. If you have the original Windows installation disc, you can use that instead of the ISO image.
