Try different USB stick at least 8gb. Create a bootable USB drive using reputable tools like Ventoy, Deepin boot maker should work too, but it's less reliable.

I hope you understand that microsoft has ended support for windows 7 and web browsers don't release security updates win7 anymore. For your security, I'd advise you to install at least windows 10 or windows 11. There are guides how to debloat, I'd recommend https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil. If you didn't like deepin, maybe you might want to take a look at chromeOS flex

Yes, I acknoledge the fact that Microsoft ended support of Windows 7. Also when i downloaded DeepinOS i used my 8GB Pendrive and now its 4GB since something happened and changed it to that.

It has created a 4gb partition which is roughly windows 7 size. If it was 8gb, then use Disks or gparted application from app store to reformat partition table.

I suggest that in the future you make use of other online resources like SuperUser or similar, including but not limited to, Windows forums.

It makes ZERO sense to be asking this kind of questions at any Linux forum.
