Using Rufus to Install Windows 11
To begin, you will need to have Rufus installed on your system. You can download and install Rufus from the official website if you haven’t already.
Once Rufus is installed, launch it and connect your USB drive (or external storage device) to your computer. The connection should be made through the “Mass Storage” or “RDFW” option in Rufus settings.
Now, follow these step-by-step instructions to successfully install Windows 11 from a downloaded image:
- Insert the USB Drive: Insert your USB drive into your system and select the correct partition scheme. You can choose between ‘USB Device (ISO Image)’ or ‘USB Device (Media File)’. For this guide, we will use ‘USB Device (Media File)’.
- Launch Rufus: Launch Rufus by double-clicking on the Rufus icon in your Start menu or by searching for it in the Start menu search bar.
- Select the Image: Select the Windows 11 ISO file from your downloaded image, making sure to choose the correct architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) depending on your system’s requirements.
- Set Up Rufus: Configure Rufus settings as follows:
* Set the ‘Device’ to be the USB drive you inserted earlier.
* Select the correct partition scheme (e.g., ‘USB Device (Media File)’).
* Set the ‘Start’ option to ‘Custom: Start’, then select ‘Windows 11’.
* Set the ‘Location’ and ‘Boot’ options as desired.
- Run Rufus: Click on the ‘Rufus’ button at the bottom right corner of the Rufus window. A list of available devices will be displayed, along with their current status (e.g., connected or disconnected). Select your USB drive from this list and click ‘Start’ to begin the installation process.
- Wait for Installation: The installation process should take a few minutes to complete. You can monitor progress by checking the Rufus window’s status bar. Once the installation is completed, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that Windows 11 has been successfully installed on your system.
