WinToFlash for Windows

WinToFlash is an excellent application for creating bootable USB keys for Windows operating systems. Usually, the installation packages with the operating system are stored on an optical disk, which is not always convenient or reliable. First, the disk can be damaged, and even an imperceptible scratch will cause the installation to fail. Secondly, modern PCs and laptops are increasingly produced without optical drives, and although the use of CDs/DVDs is still quite common, over time their use is decreasing.

It is in connection with the above and was developed this program with which you can fully transfer the program to install Windows on an external flash drive in a few simple steps. The program has two main operating modes: wizard mode and advanced mode. Wizard mode is ideal for novice users because here all user actions are reduced to a simple step-by-step selection of specific parameters of the operating system and flash drive: available work with OS on the disk in an optical drive or as an image on the PC, as well as specifying all connected media that can be used as a bootable one. The advanced mode is intended more for experienced users, as it allows additional options for fine-tuning the boot characteristics, but even here it is not too difficult to understand.

What else is worth noting is the application's user-friendly interface, which is at once intuitive, and the portability of the program, which allows you to use it without having to install it into the system.

Overall, WinToFlash is a great program with which you can install Windows from a Flash card, USB-drive, HDD or any other data storage device of your choice which is much more reliable than storing the installation package on a simple optical drive.
