Create a Windows 10 Bootable USB Flash Drive

Usually when we cover creating bootable USB drives for Windows, we recommend the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool, but I’ve had some problems creating one and started looking for a different option.

So this time around, I thought I would try the free utility called Rufus. Here’s a look at using it, and in the end, I actually had a faster experience using it than the older Microsoft tool.

First of all, make sure you download the Windows 10 Technical Preview by joining the Windows Insider Program as explained in this article. Also make sure your using a USB that is at least 4 GB for the 32-bit version and 8 GB for the 64-bit version.

One of the first cool things about Rufus is that no installation is necessary, which means you can stick it on a network location, or other external drive to run it. When you run it, setting it up is simple.

Step 1: Visit this page and download the latest version of Rufus. Rufus is a portable utility and hence doesn’t require an installation.

Step 2: Connect your 4GB+ USB drive to your PC where you have installed Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1. Be sure to backup all data from your USB drive.

Step 3: Run Rufus utility. Click Yes button when you see the UAC prompt to launch the tool.

Step 4: Under the Device section, select your USB drive that you want to make bootable, select MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI computers, or GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer depending the type of partition type on your PC.

Step 6: Enter a volume label, click on the CD/DVD drive icon to browse to the Windows 10 ISO image file. Select the file.

Step 7: Finally, click Start button, click OK button when you see the warning dialog to continue its job.
