New Pc won't install Windows

DestinyDavid · Sep 27, 2014

Ok, so this is my only windows pc, I'm currently using my macbook pro.

I'm trying to make a bootable usb with windows on it But i have no idea.

PS, I have no dvd writer or dvd burner whatever you call those things.

It's an exe file ._.

In addition, can I just torrented? I'm broke as hell...

I have torrented windows7 ultimate x86, do i move all files to usb?

You need a valid product key for Windows7 to install any of them - I would not suggest using torrents! Good way to get a virus - especially in an operating system.....

This is a link to Microsoft's Windows 7 ISO downloads. You need to match the version with the product key you have - again - without the proper product key - it won't work.....

Once the ISO is downloaded to our MAC:
1. Insert a blank disc.
2. Start Disk Utility.
3. From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned.
4. In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
5. Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.

Do you have a friend that can do it for you?

Files are being transfered, I'll tell you if it works

Also, i get reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

Do i need to press any key?

That is because there is no operating system on the computer. Making a bootable DVD will fix that issue.

Well, shit.

I don't have an optical drive or any drive cd inserter of anytype. So it isn't possible to make it thru usb?

If you have an ISO you can use rufus

Run this make sure the flash drive is the drive. Because it'll format it.

If the mobo supports UEFI select it. Add the ISO wait for to finish. Then reboot / change to flash drive / boot from it

I don't have a windows machine readily available, I did use the bootcamp assistant to make a windows 7 bootable drive on a USB but I'm not completely certain if that's not just for dual installations on Macs

The mobo is a gigabyte z97 x
