1. What is the Windows 7 USB Download Tool?

The Windows 7 USB Download Tool is a free utility that allows you to create a copy of your original Windows 7 installation media (an ISO file) on a USB flash drive, so you can install Windows 7 on any computer without having to worry about having an optical drive in it. It also lets you burn an ISO image to a DVD disc.

2. Why should I use the Windows 7 USB Download Tool?

The USB flash drive option is great if you're installing Windows 7 on multiple computers or laptops, since it's much easier to carry around than a DVD disc. If you're not sure if your computer has an optical drive, this tool will allow you to easily find out before purchasing anything else. It's also useful if you're working with limited space—you can save some room by placing your files on a USB stick instead of burning them onto blank discs in order to install Windows 7.
