You can install Windows 7 from a USB flash disk (or external hard drive if you wanted to) with the Windows 7 USB tool. Works great and installs much faster than from a DVD. Even on my desktop, I haven't used disks to install software in forever. Hey, you can even download a trial of Office, Photoshop, or almost any major software, and then activate it with a key from a physical package. Works great.
- riobard 16y agoI tried that too on some PC's around. It's a nice feature given the need to reinstall the OS more often... There are some compatibility issues with USB booting on different BIOS, but other than that it is really helpful. Now the next question is how do you run Win7 from a USB stick...
