I have read so many posts about being unable to boot from a usb to install a version of Windows.
Being unable to "mount" an iso.
Getting partitions wrong.
"Formatting". Whatever that means.
From personal experience there is no "formatting" needed.
No "mounting".
No need to make partitions.
Just download an ISO.
Extract it using 7-Zip to a USB drive.
Click on the setup.exe contained in the ISO.
Wallah--- The OS is installed.
No muss.
No fuss.
I have done this.
It works.
Why make things more complicated than they have to be ?
It just boggles my mind to see people doing un-necessary things when the installing process is so simple.
