Hello,
I recently tried to create a bootable USB drive with Windows 7 on it to install it on my new setup. I used the application from the Microsoft Store, and after completing all the steps and installing Windows 7 on the drive, the software prompts me to restart the installation with this status message:
"The files have been copied successfully. However, the bootsect utility that allows the USB device to boot could not be executed. If you need help, click on the online help link above."
Yes, I have already searched for my problem on Google, with no results.
Yes, I have already restarted my PC, with no results.
Yes, I have already clicked on the online help, but the provided link does not work (go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163455&clcid=0x40c)
Therefore, I am looking for a solution to be able to install Windows 7 on my new PC. I only have a USB drive, and no disk with enough space to hold Windows 7.
Configuration: Windows 10 / Firefox 40.0

Hello,
Do it like this instead:

In W7, cmd is in "accessories" and the admin mode is launched by right-clicking. The rest is the same.
