But another important condition is, you must be ensure that your PC's hardware that means motherboard supports USB booting.Now-a-days almost PC/Laptop supports this feature.Your installation time will easily go faster if you use USB 3.0 flash drive instead of USB 2.0.Your flash drive need to be at least 4GB memory.It doesn't need to be
