The Easiest Way to Make a Bootable Windows 10 or 11 USB for Free

If you’ve ever needed to start your PC from fresh or if you’ve freshly built your very first gaming PC build, then you would have had to install an Operating System, such as Windows 10 or 11 at some point.

There are many ways you can do so that make the process as simple as possible and gone are the days that you used to grab the install disk from the store.

These days, what you’ll do is in one way or another, is create a bootable USB (or bootable drive of some sort). Then once you’ve created your bootable disk, you stick it into your PC or new PC build, boot from it and then install it onto your new storage device, such as an SSD.

Anyone else having the "FIXED" issue where Rufus won't install the .iso file onto a USB flash drive because it's removable (I'm imaging it with Windows To Go because I just need access, not a fresh installation of windows)

[captainlevonn]

You don’t need any files to transfer to the usb or rufus will put itself into the usb

You don't need Rufus Microsoft media creation tool is just easier. But I like how rufus is good!
