Installing Windows 11 with Rufus: A Step-by-Step Guide
Are you ready to upgrade to the latest version of Windows, but don’t want to wait for a download? Look no further than using Rufus, a popular tool from Microsoft that allows you to install Windows 11 directly from an ISO file. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of installing Windows 11 using Rufus.
What You Need:
To install Windows 11 with Rufus, you’ll need:
- Rufus (available for Windows 10 and later)
- A USB drive with at least 8GB of free space
- Windows 10 or later operating system installed on the USB drive
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Download Rufus: If you haven’t already, download Rufus from the official Microsoft website.
- Create a Bootable USB Drive: Once downloaded and installed, make sure to create a bootable USB drive by running Rufus. Click on the ”Create” button and select your Windows 10 or later operating system as the source file.
- Select ISO File: Navigate to the location where you saved the ISO file for Windows 11 (usually located in the downloads folder) and select it. If the path is different, adjust it according to your needs.
- Configure Rufus Settings:
* Set the USB drive as the boot device.
* Set the time limit to ”Never” so that Rufus doesn’t automatically shut down after a successful installation.
* Choose the language and keyboard layout you prefer.
* Click ”Start” to begin the installation process.
- Power On Your PC: Plug in your USB drive and turn on your computer.
- Enter Boot Options (If Required): Rufus might prompt you to enter a boot password or confirm that you want to install Windows 11 immediately after loading. For most users, it’s recommended to choose ”Install Now” without entering any passwords.
- Wait for Installation: Once the installation begins, be patient as it can take several minutes (or hours in some cases) depending on your internet connection and computer specifications.
- Finish Installing Windows 11:
* If you chose not to enter a password, Rufus will install Windows 11 without asking.
* If prompted for a reboot, simply press F10 to skip it.
- Troubleshoot and Install Extras: After the installation completes, your computer might need some time to reboot. Be patient and allow it to finish its initial boot process before attempting to use your computer.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed Windows 11 using Rufus. Now you can enjoy the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system on your Windows PC.
