With FlashBoot, you can install Windows 7 to a new laptop or new PC with no hassles. It can prepare Windows setup USB thumb drive with integrated drivers, so you can install Windows 7 to any new computer, such as Kaby Lake and Ryzen. Besides built-in drivers, FlashBoot can add user-supplied drivers. Also, the program can install fully-functional Windows 11/10/8.1/8 to a USB thumb drive, so you can carry your OS, apps, documents, games wherever you go!

If you dislike Windows 10 or a new Windows 11 because of OS-builtin advertising, forced updates, untimely reboots, and pervasive telemetry - then a way to go is to return to Windows 7. But hardware marches on, and older operating systems hardly can play catch-up. Installation of Windows 7 to new laptop fails right on the first screen: mouse, keyboard, and boot device are inaccessible to Windows 7 on new computers, due to lack of USB 3.0 support.

Using FlashBoot, you can install Windows 7 to a new laptop or new PC with no problems. It will prepare Windows installation USB thumbdrive with slipstreamed drivers, so you can quickly and easily install Windows 7 to any new computer, even Kaby Lake and Ryzen platforms. Besides of builtin USB 3.0, NVMe, and RAID drivers, It can also slipstream user-supplied drivers.

Also, the app enables you to install an instance of the Windows OS onto a USB storage device, empowering you to boot any PC from that device. With the program, you'll be able to walk about with a fully-functional installation of Windows 11, 10, 8.1 or 8 in your pocket, ready to go under any circumstance. Need your favorite app, document, game, or browser when you're sitting in front of a strange computer? Just break out your USB device prepared with the software!

And finally, Flash Boot facilitates the installation of older operating systems, such as Windows XP, from USB thumdrive, and running a minified version of it (known as BartPE) from USB thumbdrive. You can even use the tool to build self-extracting standalone EXE files that contain exactly what you want, for rapid deployment whenever you need it. If the capacity of USB thumdrive was reduced by other tools, then the app will automatically recover it to full capacity.

Note: It has Free and Pro editions, without time/use limitations. The free edition is useful on its own and roughly corresponds to other free tools on the market.

  • FlashBoot 3.3q Screenshots

    The images below have been resized. Click on them to view the screenshots in full size.

What's new in this version:

- Windows Setup on USB scenario, FAT32 filesystem: when OS installation image is larger than 4Gb and compressed in solid mode, FlashBoot no longer emits WIM split error.
- Bootable clones: when FlashBoot fails to duplicate original security descriptor to the target filesystem on a USB storage device, this is no longer a fatal error.
- UEFI-related scenarios: when user-supplied ISO file lacks 64-bit UEFI bootloader (due to third-party customizations or x86/x64 confusion), ISO file is rejected outright at the Wizard phase, rather than later at USB storage device formatting phase, with reference to missing Windows\Boot\EFI\bootmgfw.efi in installation WIM (as in the previous FlashBoot versions).
