So basically, I have the .iso file for Windows 8 64-bit from Microsoft Dreamspark to install on my dads PC. My problem is i don't have an optical drive (so can't make a disc) and I dont have a USB drive big enough for the file, as I use a portable HDD which is at my dads house (ironically). I have my dads HDD installed in my PC at the moment as I backed up all of his files (from when he was running Vista) and have now formatted the HDD, as i have everything he needs. Can i simply put the iso file onto the HDD and install windows from there? (I can make a separate partition if need be).
My dads PC also only has 3GB DDR2 memory, but he may upgrade to 4gb in the future, so should I install the 64-bit version or go ahead and get the 32-bit version?
Thanks guys
