INSTALLER WINDOWS SUR UNE CLE USB AVEC SON TELEPHONE

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a bootable Windows USB drive using your smartphone. This method is especially useful when you don't have access to a second computer. You'll learn the necessary steps and requirements to successfully install Windows on a USB drive directly from your phone.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start, you'll need the following items:

• A smartphone with internet access.
• A USB flash drive (at least 8GB recommended).
• An OTG (On-The-Go) cable to connect the USB drive to your phone.
• The Windows ISO file (downloadable from the Microsoft website).

Practical Tips

• Ensure your USB drive is empty or that you have backed up any important data, as the process will erase all existing files.
• Make sure your phone has enough battery power to complete the process.

Step 2: Download the Windows ISO File

1. Open a web browser on your smartphone.
2. Go to the official Microsoft website.
3. Navigate to the section for downloading Windows.
4. Choose the version of Windows you wish to install and select the option to download the ISO file.
5. Wait for the download to complete.

Common Pitfalls

• Ensure you're downloading the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) based on your needs.
• Check your phone’s storage capacity; the ISO file can be several gigabytes.

Step 3: Connect Your USB Drive

1. Use the OTG cable to connect your USB flash drive to your smartphone.
2. Make sure the connection is secure and that your phone recognizes the USB drive.

Practical Advice

• You may receive a notification on your phone indicating that a USB device is connected. If not, check your connections.

Step 4: Use a USB Creation Tool

1. Download a USB creation app from the Google Play Store. Some popular options include:

   • Rufus (if available on Android)
   • EtchDroid
   • DriveDroid

2. Open the app and select the option to create a bootable USB drive.

3. When prompted, choose the downloaded Windows ISO file.

4. Select your connected USB drive as the destination for the installation.

Detailed Steps in the App

• Follow the prompts in the app to configure the bootable drive.
• Confirm that you want to write the ISO file to the USB drive. This will erase all data on the drive.

Step 5: Start the Creation Process

1. Tap on the option to start creating the bootable USB drive.
2. Wait for the process to complete; this may take several minutes depending on the size of the ISO file and the speed of your USB drive.

Important Note

• Do not disconnect the USB drive during the process, as this can corrupt the installation file.

Step 6: Eject the USB Drive

1. Once the process is complete, safely eject the USB drive from your phone.
2. Disconnect the OTG cable.

Practical Tip

• Always use the safe eject option to ensure that all files are properly saved and the drive is not corrupted.
