How to make an bootable ISO file from folder or files
Can anybody here tell me how I can make a bootable ISO file from folder or files copied from my windows 7 genuine DVD? Due to lots of scratches on it, it's not working properly and I am only left with copied files of windows 7 DVD on my PC. I can still install windows from it but it will create problems while booting the PC. Please help ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Sanyam,
I totally get your point and what you are talking about creating a bootable iso file from windows installation files.
It pretty easy and simple if you the exact given steps and use the right software:-
1. Download and install ImgBurn
2. Now select the Windows installation files.
3. Now Configure the Advance bootable settings
4. Now select the output location for the iso file
5. Click on start.
If you still face any problem, you can also follow the original source link I have mentioned.
I hope it helps! Thanks.

DVD's are region and CSS encrypted so you cannot copy files from them. As long as you have windows 7 COA key you can use OEM System builder DVD and reinstall 10 Home or Pro for free. Ultimate COA key would be pro as there is no Ultimate windows 10.

There is no reason whatsoever to use WIN7 DVD. This OS is end of life end of support.
You can also make your own ISO or usb flash drive on a 16 gig or 32 gig USB2 flash drive.

Skylake and newer CPU and chipsets have removed the legacy USB 2.0 hub and floppy drive. The main effect of this hardware change is the inability to install Windows from a USB3 flash drive due to not having native USB 3.0 driver support. UEFI requires FAT32 so NTFS and EXFAT do not work for install.
This may also affect installation of Ubuntu Linux.
