Rufus
Rufus is a free utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives and memory sticks. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need to quickly and reliably create installation media.
It is especially useful when:
- You need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
- You need to work on a system that doesn’t have an OS installed
- You need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
- You want to run a low-level utility
No installation is required — just download and run the executable. Rufus is digitally signed and supports many languages. System requirements: Windows 8 or later.
