If you’re interested in creating a multi-setup USB drive that can be used to install one or more different Windows setups (for instance, Windows Vista and Windows 7 or Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit editions), then you should refer to our guide on creating a multi-setup bootable USB or external drive with EasyBCD. While we previously used to recommend the use of EasyBCD to pull this off, if all you want to do is to create a USB or external drive that can be used to install a single OS & platform combination of Windows then Microsoft has developed a simpler method of deploying the Windows setup onto a USB drive.
Whether you’re trying to install Windows on a netbook that doesn’t have a CD or DVD drive, a PC with a damaged optical disk, or just simply want the convenience of having the Windows setup on a USB stick that you can carry around in your pocket so you’ll be ready when disaster strikes - EasyBCD will take care of it for you.
