The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file on a USB flash drive or a DVD. To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool.

You can create a virtual dvd player/burner etc in which you can mount the iso file. An iso file is an image of the dvd.

Copy the ISO file to the external drive.
Copy the ISO file to the target computer or create a bootable copy and upgrade the computer.
Because DBAN erases every single file on the drive, it has to be run while the operating system isn't in use. To do this, you must 'burn' the program to a disc (like an empty CD or DVD) or to a USB device, and then run it from there, outside of the operating system, to completely erase the hard drive you want to erase. Generally, the regular process of installing Windows 10 from ISO file involves downloading the operating system ISO file, creating a bootable flash drive or DVD from it, and then using this bootable media to install the operating system. While this is all well and good, there might be cases when using external bootable media is not a feasible option.
