Just leave it as is with the “Disk or ISO image” as pre-selected.In my case I only have one USB flash drive plugged into my laptop, so it was already pre-selected. This is applicable only when you have more than one USB flash drive plugged into your computer or laptop.

Luckily, I had a 16GB storage for my USB flash drive so this should be good to go. Keep in mind that your USB flash drive should have more than 8GB of storage to make this work. To make sure that your USB flash drive is detected by the software, double check that you have properly plugged it into your computer or laptop, and that you should see at the bottom part of the window that it says “1 device found”.

Step 4: Plug in your USB flash drive and Open the window for Rufus What I like about Rufus is that you do not need to install the software on your computer or laptop for you to be able to use it (which is usually an essential part of the process for you to be able to use the software). A window will pop-up with the message: “Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?” just click on “Yes”.Right click and click on “Run as Administrator”.Look for rufus-3.8 (or whichever version you have opted to download).It should only take a few seconds for it to finish downloading. So currently as I am downloading this software, the latest version is Rufus 3.8 which was updated last September 16, 2019. Click on the latest version and wait for it to start the download.

Step 2: Download the latest version of the software Step 1: Go to Rufus’ official website ( ) So, without further ado, let’s get started! And Rufus just had some pretty good updates on the newest version which allows you to download the Windows ISO image directly from the software that makes it very convenient for everyone to DIY (Do-It-Yourself). Rufus is a software that helps us “create bootable USB drives the easy way” as they have claimed, and they are committed to deliver that promise! So basically, what Rufus does is it does the formatting to create bootable USB flash drives so we can use it to install the Windows 10 ISO instead of using the traditional CD-ROM or floppy disk drives.įear not, because this software is very simple and easy to use. I am betting that most of you would agree with me when I say that “Windows is one of the best Operating System right now.” and thanks to Rufus for providing a very easy and straightforward way to help us install the newest version available on our computers and laptops with the use of a USB flash drive.
