Failing Hard Drive

I have a Dell Inspiron I bought in January 2015 with Windows 8.1 installed. A few days ago I got a Dell diagnostic report popup (it runs in the background) that stated an "early failure" of the hard drive was detected. Since I am still under warranty, they are just sending me a new hard drive.

I regularly back up C:\USERS\username to an external hard drive using NovaBackup, so I am not concerned about losing my data.

What I am concerned about is that any day now, the disk will not boot. I want to create a bootable USB flash drive. I have read through other threads here, but I have no idea what copying or burning your ISO files means.

Could you please give me some more detailed instructions?
