Open the respective Microsoft Download page for the ADK or AIK. The Windows ADK/AIK is
rather large, taking up between 1.7 – 3.4 GB. The download can therefore take up to a few hours,
depending on download speed.
Open the respective installation file (ADK/AIK) and start it.
The program will first try creating a bootable disk using the Windows® recovery environment.
When this isn’t possible, it will use the "Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for
Windows®". The Kit contains a combination of tools that can be used for personalizing,
evaluating, and preparing Windows operating systems for use on new computers.
If you’re using Windows 10, install ADK10. You can download the installation file on the following
page:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/en-des/windows/hardware/dn913721.aspx
If you’re using Windows 8.1, install ADK8.1. You can download the installation file on the
following page:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=39982
If you’re using Windows 8, install ADK8.0. You can download the installation file on the following
page:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30652
If you’re using Windows 7: The Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows® will
help you create a bootable disk. The "Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows®
7" will assist with the installation, customization, and final preparations for operating systems from
the Microsoft Windows® 7 operating system family. This can be downloaded from Microsoft®
under
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=5753.
As a last option, you can use the Windows® installation disk to create a bootable disk. If this
option is selected, the Windows®installation disk itself will need to be directly inserted.
Change removable medium
Select an external hard drive to store an image on (or USB flash drive with enough storage space).
Note:
On account of the limitations placed on creating Windows bootable disks, O&O DiskImage can only
use 2TB for making a bootable medium. If your disk is larger than 2 TB, the remaining space cannot
be used.
Warning:
All data on the target volume will be deleted.
