How-to
If you plan to install Windows 11 on your device, you're likely to need a bootable USB drive, and here are two ways to create one.
Jump to:
•Media Creation Tool
•Rufus
Although you can install Windows 11 in multiple ways, if you plan to start from scratch, you usually use a bootable USB flash drive to proceed with the setup. However, since you cannot officially purchase a physical installation media (at least from the Microsoft Store), you must create one yourself.
The Media Creation Tool is the easiest method to create a bootable media to upgrade or clean install Windows 11.
To create an installation media with the Media Creation Tool, connect a USB flash drive of at least 8GB of space, and use these steps:
•Open Windows 11 download page.
•Under the "Create Windows 11 Installation Media" section, click the Download now button to save the file on the device.
•Double-click the MediaCreationTool.exe file to launch the tool.
•Click the Accept button to agree to the terms.
Alternatively, you can also use Rufus, a free non-Microsoft tool that allows you to create an installation media to install Windows 11 on virtually any hardware and software configuration. The utility provides two methods to create the installation media, including using an existing ISO file or directly downloading the file from the Microsoft servers.
Create install USB with Windows 11 ISO
To create a USB media with an existing Windows 11 ISO file, connect a flash drive of at least 8GB of space, and use these steps:
•Open Rufus download page.
•Under the "Download" section, click the Rufus-4.x.exe (standard) option and save the file on your computer.
•Double-click the Rufus-x.x.exe file to launch the tool.
