How to Install Windows 7 Faster and Easier with NT 6.x Fast Installer
If you are looking for a way to install Windows 7 faster and easier than the traditional setup.exe method, you might want to try NT 6.x Fast Installer, a set of command-line scripts that can install Windows 7 directly from an ISO file or a USB external drive. NT 6.x Fast Installer was created by a user named fujianabc on the reboot.pro forum, and it has many advantages over the original Microsoft setup.exe:
- You can install Windows 7 directly from an ISO file mounted by any kind of virtual drive. You don't need to extract or burn the ISO file.
- You can install Windows 7 from any version of Windows PE or Windows 2000 and above. You don't need to boot from a DVD or a USB flash drive.
- You can install Windows 7 directly onto a USB external hard drive. You don't need a virtual machine, a copy tool, or a complicated tutorial.
- You can manually choose which partition is the boot partition. You don't have to worry about the setup.exe putting the boot files on the wrong drive.
- You can decide which letter the Windows partition will occupy in Windows 7. You don't have to stick with the default C: drive.
- The install speed is very fast. You can install Windows 7 in 11-12 minutes for a 5400 rpm notebook hard drive, and in less than 10 minutes for a desktop 7200 rpm hard drive.
To use NT 6.x Fast Installer, you need to download the latest version of the script from [here] (the file name is NT6.X_fast_installer_100219.7z) and extract it to a folder. You also need to find three files from the Windows 7 or Vista installation media or the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK): imagex.exe, bcdboot.exe, and bootsect.exe. You need to put these files in the same folder as the script. The versions of these files are important, so make sure you follow these guidelines:
- imagex.exe must be from the Windows 7 7600 WAIK. The imagex.exe from Vista cannot show the contents of the WIM file properly.
- bcdboot.exe must be from Windows 7. The bcdboot.exe from Windows 7 Beta 7000 is recommended, as higher versions may not run in XP-based Windows PE or Windows 2000.
- bootsect.exe can be from Vista or Windows 7. The bootsect.exe from Windows 7 7600 is recommended.
After you have prepared the files, you can run the installer.cmd file and follow the instructions on the screen. You will need to choose the source of the installation (either an ISO file or a folder), the target partition (either an internal or an external hard drive), and some other options (such as the boot partition and the drive letter). The script will then use imagex.exe, bcdboot.exe, and bootsect.exe to apply the image, create the boot configuration data, and write the boot sector. The whole process should take less than 15 minutes, depending on your hardware and settings.
There are some tips and tricks that you should know when using NT 6.x Fast Installer:
- If you install Vista or Windows Server 2008 from the original ISO file with this script, the Windows partition will occupy D: instead of C:. This is because these versions of Windows reserve C: for the system reserved partition. If you want to change this, you can use a tool like [EasyBCD] to edit the BCD file after installation.
- After installing Windows on a USB external hard drive, you should enable the write cache of the hard drive in Device Manager to speed up the system. You can also use a tool like [NTFS Tweaker] to optimize some NTFS settings for better performance.
- If you want to plug the USB external hard drive with Windows installed to another PC, you may need to run a command as administrator to fix some driver issues. The command is:
pnputil -i -a %windir%\inf\*.inf
NT 6.x Fast Installer is a handy tool for anyone who wants to install Windows 7 faster and easier than ever before. It can save you time, disk space, and hassle. It can also let you enjoy Windows 7 on a USB external hard drive, which can be useful for backup, recovery, or portability. If you are interested in this tool, you can download it from [here] and give it a try.

NT 6.x Fast Installer is not only useful for installing Windows 7, but also for other versions of Windows based on the NT 6.x kernel, such as Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11. You can use the same script to install these versions of Windows from an ISO file or a USB external drive, as long as you have the compatible imagex.exe, bcdboot.exe, and bootsect.exe files. You can find these files from the corresponding installation media or WAIK.
However, there are some differences and limitations that you should be aware of when using NT 6.x Fast Installer for these versions of Windows:
- Windows 8 and above have a new feature called Fast Startup, which is enabled by default. This feature reduces the boot time by saving the system state to a hibernation file when shutting down. However, this also prevents the system from being mounted by another operating system or Windows PE. Therefore, if you want to use NT 6.x Fast Installer to install Windows 8 or above from another operating system or Windows PE, you need to disable Fast Startup first. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change settings that are currently unavailable > Uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended).
- Windows 10 and above have a new feature called Secure Boot, which is enabled by default on most UEFI-based PCs. This feature prevents the system from booting from unauthorized devices or media. However, this also prevents the system from booting from a USB external hard drive with NTFS partition. Therefore, if you want to use NT 6.x Fast Installer to install Windows 10 or above on a USB external hard drive with NTFS partition, you need to disable Secure Boot first. You can do this by going to BIOS settings > Security > Secure Boot > Disabled.
- Windows 11 has a new requirement for TPM 2.0, which is a hardware-based security feature that stores encryption keys and other sensitive data. However, not all PCs have TPM 2.0 or have it enabled by default. Therefore, if you want to use NT 6.x Fast Installer to install Windows 11 on a PC that does not have TPM 2.0 or has it disabled, you need to bypass this requirement first. You can do this by creating a registry file with the following content and merging it before running the installer.cmd file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
NT 6.x Fast Installer is a powerful tool that can help you install any version of Windows based on the NT 6.x kernel faster and easier than ever before. It can also help you create a portable Windows system on a USB external hard drive that you can use on any PC. However, you should also be careful when using this tool, as it may cause some compatibility or security issues if not used properly. You should always backup your data and create a restore point before using this tool.
