    Hi i want to make a bootable USB for windows 7 home premium x64. I have downloaded the ISO that has all the versions and removed the efi. But when i go to install it doesn't give me the option to install whichever version I want, only the version the ISO is specified for. Help?

    run the efi utility on the iso again (and depending on the prompt, once more after) and put it on the usb. The efi might have already been removed from the iso, and when you use the utility on an iso without an efi file, the utility will restore the efi file, leading to situations like yours.
