WinSetupFromUSB is a free program that allows you to create bootable USB flash drives. It is portable, needs no installation and can be used free of charge for personal and commercial purposes. WinSetupFromUSB will help you to create a flash drive from which you can install different versions of Windows and Linux. In a fairly simple program interface, you first need to select media from the list at the top. The FBinstTool button is intended for formatting a flash drive, and Bootice and RMPrepUSB are also included. Save all the valuable data from the flash drive before formatting. The next step is to mark the necessary type of operating system and choose the path to the installation files. For Windows Vista to Windows 11 you select the ISO image, while Windows 2000/XP/2003 setup needs the folder with the installation files. The program supports BartPE, WinBuilder, UBCD4Win and WinFLPC. Several sources can be added one after another, so one drive can boot many systems in BIOS and UEFI mode.

If you need to create a bootable flash drive to install Linux, you can choose between the following options: ISO image compatible with PartedMagic, Ubuntu, Grub4dos; SysLinux bootsector or Linux distribution using SysLinux. Before you copy files to a flash drive, you can use the Advanced options checkbox. However, these options are recommended only for advanced users. With the Test in QEMU checkbox you can test the drive you've created in a virtual machine to make sure everything is working smoothly. At the same time, the developer once again warns that such a test may not reflect the result on the real "hardware" and it should be used at your own risk. For UEFI boot the drive must be formatted as FAT32, while NTFS allows larger files for BIOS-only setups.
