Are you eager to install your newly downloaded Windows 10 installation media on your computer? Look no further than Rufus, the popular tool that makes the process seamless and hassle-free. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install Windows 10 using Rufus:
Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Ensure that Rufus is installed on your computer, preferably version 1.0 or later.
- Make sure you have the downloaded Windows 10 installation media (ISO file) and it’s not corrupted.
Step-by-Step Installation Process:
- Launch Rufus: Double-click on the Rufus icon in your Start menu to launch it. The software will detect the USB drive or SD card containing your Windows 10 installation media.
- Choose Your USB Drive: Select the device you wish to install Windows 10 from and click «Start».
- Confirm Installation Source: In this step, select whether the installation source is a USB drive or an SD card (for a SD card). If using a USB drive, make sure it’s not full and has enough free space.
- Select Your Language and Edition: Choose your preferred language and operating system edition from the list of options provided by Rufus. For Windows 10 Home or Pro, select the desired version.
- Set Boot Order (Optional): If you want to change the boot order of your computer, click on «Boot Options» and select your desired boot order.
- Configure USB Settings: Choose whether to use a single bootable USB drive, create a bootable media from an existing installation, or not.
- Check Connection: Verify that your USB device (e.g., SD card) is connected properly.
- Start Installation Process: Once Rufus has set up the installation process, it will begin downloading and installing Windows 10 onto your computer.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Make sure there are no issues with the ISO file or Rufus settings.
- If you encounter any problems during installation, refer to online forums for potential solutions.
- Be cautious when using Rufus as it may overwrite data from existing files on your computer.
