From ISO to USB: Rufus Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners (In 10 Minutes)

Looking to create a bootable USB drive for installing an operating system or running a live environment? In this comprehensive guide, I'll walk you through how to flash any ISO to a USB drive using Rufus, the go-to tool for making bootable USBs.

This video isn’t just about the basics — I'll explain every single option in Rufus so you can make informed choices to ensure your flashed USB works perfectly on your computer. Whether you’re installing Windows, Linux, or any other OS, you’ll learn exactly which settings to select for different systems, including:

File system formats (FAT32, NTFS, etc.).
Partition schemes (MBR vs. GPT).
Target system compatibility (BIOS, UEFI, or both).
But that’s not all! If the operating system you’re flashing doesn’t support Secure Boot (such as many Linux distributions), I’ll also show you how to disable Secure Boot in your BIOS/UEFI settings. This step is essential to avoid boot errors and get your system up and running smoothly.

This tutorial is perfect for beginners and seasoned tech enthusiasts alike. By the end of the video, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to:
✅ Flash any ISO to a USB drive with confidence.
✅ Choose the right settings for your system.
✅ Troubleshoot boot issues related to Secure Boot.
