  3. Change the file system from FAT32 to NTFS from the dropdown menu. This is the file system with which your USB drive will be formatted with. Do note that older computers will not boot from a flash drive formatted as NTFS. Do not modify the cluster size. Enter the name you want for your USB device in the Volume label box.

  5. Click on Start to format your USB drive and extract all files of the ISO to it.
    To install the OS, restart your computer and select your USB device as the primary boot option in the BIOS boot menu.
