Installing Microsoft Windows 10 on a PC Using Rufus
Rufus, a popular tool for creating and managing bootable USB drives, is an essential utility when installing Microsoft Windows 10. In this article, we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of using Rufus to create a Windows 10 installation media.
What You Need:
— Your PC’s operating system (Windows)
— A Windows 10 installation media (USB drive created with Rufus)
— Your PC
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Launch Rufus: First, you need to launch Rufus on your computer. It can be found in the Start menu, under «System».
- Select the USB Drive as Boot Location: In Rufus, select the drive where you want to create the installation media from (usually a new blank USB drive). Make sure this is the correct drive.
- Choose Windows 10 Edition and Language: Choose the version of Windows 10 you’d like to install (Home, Pro, or Enterprise) and your preferred language.
- Set the Installation Time: Set the desired installation time in minutes.
- Set the Boot Order: Click on «Boot Order» to set which drive should be booting first. Usually, it’s the USB drive but you can change this as per need.
- Create the Bootable Media: Once everything is set up, click «Start» and then select whether you want to create a full installation media (which will install Windows along with all its software) or an update-only image.
- Confirm Your Action: Before Rufus starts creating your bootable USB drive, it’s essential to confirm that you wish to proceed. Make sure you understand what you’re about to do.
- Launch the Installation Media: After Rufus is done, click on «Create» and select where you want to save the installation media (usually a folder). Once saved, you’ll have your Windows 10 installation media ready to use for installing and reinstalling Windows.
Troubleshooting Tips:
— If Rufus doesn’t find your USB drive, ensure that it’s not plugged in or disconnected from any other device.
— Double-check the version of Windows you’re using because different versions might require slightly different configurations.
By following these steps and tips, you should be able to successfully create a Windows 10 installation media with Rufus.
