Hello! In this video, we will look at the process of creating
bootable flash drive using such a wonderful tool as Rufus.
Using it and the predefined settings in it, you can easily
and accurately make a bootable USB flash drive Windows 10, 8, Windows 7, And
various versions of Linux, as well as a variety of Live CDs that support
downloading UEFI or Legacy.
Today, with an example of using the Rufus program, I will
show the creation of a bootable Windows 10 flash drive.
I must say that Rufus is free software for creating bootable
media, and you can download it from the official site, the link is indicated in
the video description.
Scroll down the page and you can familiarize yourself with
the features of this program in more detail, and download the version that
suits you, installation or portable.
I select the portable version and download it to my computer.
I launch the program and in its upper part we immediately see a USB flash drive
connected to the computer. For Windows 10, a flash drive needs a memory
capacity of at least 8 gigabytes.
In the boot selection section, I select the disk or ISO image, find the Windows 10 image and select it. In case you do not have a
Windows 10 image on your computer, the latest version of Rufus has added the
ability to download such an image from the official Microsoft website.
I will now show how to do it. Next to the Select button,
click on the arrow and select, Download. After that, click on the button, Download,
choose the version of Windows to download,
Then select the language of Windows ,then the bit depth of
the operating system ,64-bit or 32-bit The last step is left to download the
system image ,and the program can do this, or you can put a check mark next to
the inscription Download via browser And click on the button ,Download .
I already have a Windows 10 image on my computer, And I
close all the tabs for the download settings, return the tab, Select and I
click on it.
Now you need to find the Windows image on the computer and
select it, In the Image Settings tab, you can choose to create a Windows To Go
flash drive, from such a drive Windows will be launched without installing on a
computer.
I choose the standard installation for creating a bootable
USB flash drive and installing Windows on a computer. In the Partition scheme
tab, you can select MBR or GPT, in the Target system tab settings are switched automatically.
I have a fairly modern computer and I choose the GPT scheme.
At the beginning of the Formatting Settings section, you can put a different
name for the flash drive, here you can change the file system, I leave FAT 32
and click Start.
Then confirm the deletion of all data on the flash drive and
the creation of a bootable Windows 10 flash drive has begun Creating a bootable
flash drive is completed and you need to click, to close.
