First of all, a USB drive or memory card of sufficient capacity. It will have to be formatted, so if there is any important data, save it elsewhere. If you are going to use a USB drive, you will also need an on-the-go, also known as OTG, adapter to connect it to the smartphone. Before the process begins, make sure your phone's battery is fully charged, as creating a bootable drive is quite a long and power-consuming process. Finally, you need an ISO image of the operating system. You can download it from the Microsoft official website. It is necessary to have that image in the memory of your phone. So open any browser from your Android device and search for a page where you can download an image of the operating system. I strongly recommend using images from the official website only. Select version, confirm it, select language, and confirm your choice again. After you select the image bit-ness 32-bit or 64-bit, the download will start. Wait until the entire image file is downloaded. As soon as it's ready, start creating the bootable drive. In order to write an ISO image of the operating system to the storage device, you need to download a special app – ISO to USB – to your phone. It's a very simple tool, and it doesn't require you to have root permissions. Unfortunately, its description doesn't state clearly what particular image file times it supports, but user reviews suggest it can work successfully with Windows, Ubuntu, and other Linux distributors. Alright, now connect the USB drive to your Android device and start the app. In the app window, tap on Pick button next to the line Pick USB pendrive and select your USB device. For the line Pick ISO file, also tap on the Pick button and specify the path to the ISO image file you have just downloaded. By default, it should be located in the Downloads folder. Since the drive you are using is not empty yet, check this box to have it formatted. Finally, tap Start and wait until the bootable USB drive is created. It takes quite a long time. When the drive is ready, you will see this notification – USB device removed. That's all. The bootable drive is ready to use, and you can insert it into one of the USB ports on your computer to boot from this drive. Visit our channel for a detailed video tutorial about installing an operating system, and you can find the link in the description below this video. If you connect the freshly created bootable drive to a computer with a Windows operating system already up and running, it will tell you the drive is faulty and suggests to fix it. Please don't. In fact, the USB drive is alright, and your computer won't have any problems with booting from it or installing the operating system. The reason why Windows responds so critically to this USB drive is that the Android app formats it in a way that seems unusual to the operating system, though it does use the proper FAT file system. You can see that the drive contains all the necessary components. Everything works properly, and installation begins when the computer boots from the drive. And that is all for now.
