 How to Create a Bootable USB

Using Rufus
 WHAT IS BOOTABLE USB
 A “BOOTABLE USB” IS A REGULAR USB STORAGE DEVICE (LIKE A USB STICK OR EXTERNAL
HARD DRIVE) THAT HAS AN “ISO IMAGE” OF AN OPERATING SYSTEM SAVED ON IT. 
 AN ISO IMAGE IS AN ARCHIVE FILE THAT CONTAINS ALL THE INFORMATION FOUND ON AN
OPTICAL DISC, SUCH AS A CD OR DVD. THIS COULD, FOR EXAMPLE, BE A WINDOWS
INSTALLATION CD.
 How to Create a Bootable USB
 using Rufus
Rufus is one of several programs that allow you
to create an “ISO image” on a USB stick. To
create a bootable USB using Rufus, all you
need is:
•Your ISO of choice, e.g. Windows 10
•The latest version of Rufus (available online
from https://rufus.ie)
•A spare USB stick (an 8GB USB should be
plenty for Windows 10 but make sure you have
one that’s large enough for the ISO you’re
using)
Step 1: Open up Rufus and plug your
clean USB stick into your computer.
Step 2: Rufus will automatically detect
your USB. Click on Device and choose
the USB you want to use from the drop-
down menu.
Step 3: Make sure the Boot
Selection option is set to Disk or ISO
image then click Select. Rufus will open
a file explorer browser window; locate
the ISO image you want to burn onto the
USB and select it.
Step 4: Now click Start.
Step 5: You’ll get a warning saying
that any data on the USB will be
destroyed (this is normal).
Click OK and Rufus will start
creating the ISO image on the USB.
Step 6: Once Rufus has finished
creating the ISO image on the USB,
you can close it and your bootable
USB is ready to go!
