If I ever upgrade to Windows 11, I will have to find this video

The developer of Rufus is so cool. He also makes a utility that lets you use generic drivers with USB devices, which is useful sometimes for flashing firmware and getting things to work with software that doesn't originally support it.

Little known fact, this is how we install the first version of a mass install. For customers that need hundreds of the same computers. We use Rufus to install a core image onto one computer. Then we install all of the customer's requested software. Once we get the install personalized to the customers satisfaction, we then clone the image to an imaging server. Boot the remaining computers to the image server, then flash the personalized image. We can usually image about 120 computers at the same time using this process.

I’ve been using this method for a few months now… Can confirm it works

That's how I saved my pc. My $139 copy of windows 11 didn't work… kept corrupting hard drives... Even after trying to use the process they recommended to correct the error codes… Rufus solidified its usability when I came Into this issue less than 2 months ago

I was literally taught this during my diploma. Helped out with a pc upgrade in the opposite classroom, and used Rufus to bypass the online account login so we could just login each pc into the domain controller and let the server handle all the configuration for us.

That's what I did 1-2 years back, and my windows 11 machine is still going strong!

Rufus must be loved within Microsoft lmao

[Slugbunny]

Absolutely a necessity. Thanks for getting the message out!

I'm thinking of upgrading to an M.2 SSD and also doing a fresh install of windows. I started out with Windows 8 and then upgraded to 8.1 and then to 10. It's very corrupt and slow after all these years, and I came across this video just after looking for a new drive. Perfect timing!

Im so glad I switched to Linux. It’s such a blessing. You have full control over the operating system and not the other way around. Because of that you need to babysit the operating system a bit but it’s such a blessing with just doing whatever you want.

Another fun tip, if you select American international for the language it won't install tons of preloaded garbage either. Usually results in a decently clean install

[Dosenwerfer]

I don't know whether to appreciate this or not. On the one hand it's a blessing, on the other it prevents at least some people from giving up and finally switching to Linux.

Holy crap it’s so much easier now than back when I did it, I had to literally copy the OS image file from the Win11 ISO over to a Win10 ISO
This was one of the earliest ways around TPM 2.0, you basically trick a Windows 10 installer into installing Windows 11. Been running that system ever since with no issues
The fact you can just tick a box to disable hard system requirements in Rufus now is insane, and epic

[Anty]

Yea definitely removing that requirement for always online, always watching.

[alexlewis]

✔ Remove requirement for 4GB+ RAM, Secure Boct and TPM 2.0
✔ Remove requirement for an online Microsoft acccunt
✔Disable data collection (Skip privacy questions)
✔Disable BitLocker automatic device encryption
Thank me later.

There’s another program like Rufus called NTlite, and it allows for far more customization of an ISO file.

This is great advice. Microsoft sucks man. RIP Tango Gameworks.

Remember guys, this guy is not suicidal

EVERYONE, WHEN WINDOWS 11 IS SETUP SET YOUR LANGUAGE TO "English (World)" AND IT WILL INSTALL WITH NO BLOATWARE
