I've done this before, you don't even need to do much, there are programs available which do it for you but you need to format the usb to make it bootable.

Try using Rufus

PowerISO such a great software. but quit slow in regular uses. so do a alternate of WinRAR.
Nero also provide now Bootable Flash burning. after CD,DVD burning.

Indeed Rufus is one of the best softwares for making bootables CDs/USB Sticks, I remember installing Kali Linux with it before I think you should check Youtube you'll find some good tutorials there.
