If you have a Windows 7/Server 2008 or later installation ISO file, and now you want to use it to install the Windows system into your computer. Before you can use it to install Windows you will need to convert the ISO file into a bootable device, either on a DVD disc or a USB drive. Usually, you can use a DVD burning software to burn a bootable DVD directly from the Windows installation ISO file, but if the computer you want to install Windows doesn’t have a DVD drive (such as ultrabooks, tablet PCs. In fact, modern computers no longer have a CD/DVD drive.), then you will have to create a bootable Windows installation USB drive to install Windows.

Hasleo WinToUSB has released a feature called "Windows Installation USB Creator" which allows you to create a Windows installation USB drive with Windows 7/Server 2008 or later Windows installation ISO file in a few simple steps, with this feature you can create a Windows installation USB drive to install Windows on both Traditional BIOS and UEFI computers with the same USB drive.
