Installing Windows 11 can be a straightforward process, but it requires some basic steps. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to install Windows 11 using Rufus for created ISO files.
Prerequisites
Before you start the installation process, make sure you have:
- A Windows 10 or Windows Server 2019 / 2016 (32-bit) ISO file of Windows 11
- A USB drive with at least 4GB of free space
- Rufus (a popular tool for creating and bootable USB drives)
Step 1: Prepare the USB Drive
To use Rufus, you’ll need to create a bootable USB drive from your downloaded ISO file. Here’s how:
- Download Rufus from the official website.
- Run Rufus and select the Windows 11 ISO file as the source image.
- Set the boot order to “USB” and click on “Create”.
- Choose the USB drive you want to use for installation (make sure it has at least 4GB of free space).
Step 2: Launch Rufus
- Open Rufus by searching for it in your Start menu (Windows key + R) or typing
rufus
in the search bar.
- Click on Rufus and select “Create a bootable USB drive” from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Select the Destination Drive
- In the Rufus interface, click on the “File format” tab.
- Choose the destination drive (where you want to install Windows 11) by clicking on it or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Space.
- Make sure the drive is not already in use.
Step 4: Select the Boot Option
- In the “Boot Options” tab, select “Fast startup” as the boot option and click on “OK”.
- Choose whether to install Windows 11 or keep the existing operating system (if you have one).
- Make sure to check the box next to “Install only if present” before clicking “OK”.
Step 5: Start the Installation
- Click the “Start” button in Rufus and wait for the installation process to begin.
- You’ll see a progress bar that will indicate how much of the installation is being completed.
Step 6: Follow the On-Screen Instructions
- Once the installation is complete, you’ll see a license key screen.
- Read through the license agreement and enter your product key (if prompted).
- Click “Install now” to start the final steps.
Verification Steps
After completing the installation process, ensure that Windows 11 has been installed successfully by:
- Logging in with an admin account

That’s it! With these simple steps, you’ve successfully installed Windows 11 using Rufus for created ISO files.
