windows 7 ultimate 64bit

i want to make a bootable usb memory stick, but can't seem to find a way to download it from microsofts official website..?

You can download the English version of the Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit ISO file from here:
https://the-eye.eu/public/MSDN/Windows 7/en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332.iso

Once you have done that, you can use that ISO file to create a bootable USB thumb drive or bootable DVD disc so you can install Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit.

okay, but where is it on microsofts official website?

Microsoft has removed the ability to download the Windows 7 ISO file from its official site.

Prior to Microsoft doing that, you needed to type in a valid 25-character retail product key before you could download the ISO.

I have a clean Win 7 iso from Digital River, M$ now defunct approved download site years ago, if you wish to borrow it.
Wouldn't trust Win7 iso from just any website on the net.

To make it universal (all Win 7 versions) you have to delete \sources\ei.cfg (see last paragraph)

Make a USB Win 7 64 UEFI boot able drive.

To make a Win 7 USB boot able drive:

Open a CMD window as administrator and type:

diskpart
list disk (it will list all drives. Identify the USB drive number)
select disk n (replace n by the USB drive number obtained with list disk)
clean
convert mbr
create part primary
select part 1
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
active
exit (to exit diskpart)

On Win 7 use 7Zip to extract all files and folders from the Win 7 iso file to the USB drive.
On Win 10, mount the iso file and copy all files and folders to the USB drive.

To make it UEFI boot able you must add the \efi\boot folder

To make it universal (all Win 7 versions), go to \sources on the USB drive and delete \sources\ei.cfg

That will work; ei.cfg removed from mine too!
