Took me some time to finds the correct way, You need a EFI Bootable ISO or DVD (my Windows 7 32-bit) did not work; i needed an Windows 8 Image (also 32-bit, Windows 64 bit is not supported)

Install Rufus on a Windows pc and follow this guide: https://communities.intel.com/thread/75197 to make a boo

Then, set the OS to Windows on the Stick in the BIOS; otherwise it wont boot from USB - and reboot pressing F10

Select the USB stick and start the Install
