Rufus is a program for creating bootable USB drives. It is used, for example, for installing a new operating system. Other applications include data recovery after hard drive failures or scanning for viruses when your system won't boot due to malware.

In the menu, you determine how your USB should be formatted. For example, you specify the partition scheme, desired file system, and target system for the USB drive. The tool is free to use in Windows.

Overall, you have a maximally convenient tool for creating a bootable portable drive in front of you. A simple interface and significantly higher speed compared to similar programs make Rufus a recommended program by most Internet users.

Rufus also supports all Live systems based on the Isolinux bootloader and Mini-Windows WinPE.

To use a bootable USB created with this program, you need to configure your computer to start from your drive instead of the system hard disk. Depending on the computer, press keys such as Esc, Del, F1, F2, or F10 after rebooting to open the Boot menu. Then select the USB drive and reboot the computer. If you then remove the flash drive and start the computer, the next drive in the list, i.e., your system disk, will be used automatically, and the system will start in normal mode.t
