From Creating a Portable Bootable Installer to Installing an Operating System

Now that you have successfully created a portable bootable installer using Rufus, it's
time to move on to the exciting part: installing an operating system on your desired
computer. The portable bootable installer you've just crafted allows you to take your
chosen operating system wherever you go, providing a seamless installation experience
on any compatible machine. In this section, we will guide you through the process of
installing an operating system using your bootable USB drive.
Step 1: Prepare Your Computer: Before starting the installation process, ensure that
your computer is ready for the OS installation. This means having a backup of any
essential data and making sure the computer meets the system requirements of the
operating system you wish to install.
Step 2: Insert the Bootable USB Drive: Gently insert the USB flash drive containing
the portable bootable installer into an available USB port on your computer.
Step 3: Access the Boot Menu: To initiate the installation from the bootable USB
drive, you need to access the boot menu during startup. Different computers use various
keys to access the boot menu, such as F12, F2, or Delete. Look for the on-screen prompt
during the startup process, indicating which key to press. Once in the boot menu, select
the USB drive as the boot device.
Step 4: Follow the On-Screen Instructions: After selecting the USB drive from the
boot menu, the computer will start loading the operating system setup. Follow the on-
screen instructions carefully to proceed with the installation. You may need to choose
language, time zone, and keyboard settings.
Step 5: Choose Installation Type: During the installation process, you'll be prompted
to select an installation type. There are usually two options: a) Custom/Advanced
Installation: Allows you to customize partitions, disk formatting, and other advanced
settings. This option is recommended if you have specific preferences or are installing on
a dual-boot setup. b) Express/Typical Installation: A straightforward option that
automatically partitions and formats the drive for you. Suitable for most users who want
a standard installation.
Step 6: Create or Select a Partition: If you chose the custom installation option,
you'll need to create or select a partition where the operating system will be installed.
Select the appropriate partition, and ensure it has enough space for the OS.
Step 7: Wait for Installation to Complete: Once you've made the necessary
selections, the actual installation process will begin. This may take some time,
depending on the speed of your computer and the complexity of the OS.
Step 8: Set Up Your User Account: After the installation is complete, the computer
will restart, and you'll be prompted to set up your user account. Follow the instructions to
create a user account and set a password.
Step 9: Install Drivers and Updates: After setting up your user account, it's a good
idea to install necessary drivers for your hardware and check for OS updates to ensure
optimal performance and security.
Step 10: Enjoy Your New Operating System: Congratulations! You've successfully
installed an operating system using the portable bootable installer. Your computer is now
ready to use with the newly installed OS.
Installing an operating system can be a rewarding experience, giving you access to the
latest features and improvements. Remember to keep your bootable installer safe, as it
can be used for future installations and troubleshooting on other computers. Happy
computing with your new OS!
