Installing Windows 11 via Rufus: A Step-by-Step Guide
Windows 11 is a major upgrade for Microsoft, and if you’re planning to upgrade your existing PC or set up a new one with the latest operating system, installing from an ISO image using Rufus can be a convenient and efficient process. In this article, we’ll walk you through the simple steps required to install Windows 11 via Rufus.
Preparation is Key
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11:
– Processor: 64-bit processor
– RAM (at least 4 GB)
– Storage space: at least 64 GB available space
– UEFI firmware with UEFI Boot option enabled
– A valid copy of the Windows 10 installation media
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Launch Rufus: Open Rufus on your computer and select the ISO file you want to install Windows 11 from.
- Select the Correct Drive: Choose the drive where you want to install Windows 11. This can be a USB drive, an external hard disk, or any other writable device connected to your PC.
– Make sure the drive is not mounted as a boot partition (i.e., it’s not the primary operating system).
- Set the Boot Order: Rufus will prompt you to set the boot order. Select the drive where Windows 11 is installed and go to the next step.
- Choose the Language, Time Zone, and Region: Enter your language, time zone, and region details to complete the setup process.
- Select the Installation Type: Choose whether you want a clean install (overwriting all existing files) or an upgrade (overwriting only existing partitions).
- Start Installation: Click Start and let Rufus begin the installation process.
Tips and Reminders
– Make sure your system is powered off during installation to avoid any data loss.
– Ensure that the USB drive is not formatted before installing Windows 11.
– Rufus will ask you to select how many partitions you want to install on. If there are existing partitions, choose “Replace” to overwrite them.
Post-Installation Steps
After installation is complete:
- Restart your PC and enter the BIOS setup (usually by pressing F2, F12, or Del).
- Ensure that Windows 11 has been set as the new operating system.
- You may need to reconfigure your network connections, printer settings, and other peripherals.
