Installing Windows 10 from a USB Drive with Rufus
In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of booting and installing Windows 10 from your downloaded ISO image using Rufus.
Prerequisites:
- A Windows 10 installation media (ISO file) – download one from Microsoft’s official website
- A computer that has a UEFI firmware or UEFI with UEFI secure boot enabled
- Rufus, the built-in tool for creating and managing USB drives
Step 1: Prepare Your Computer
Before you begin, ensure your computer is booted into its safe mode. This will help prevent any potential issues during the installation process.
Step 2: Enable Secure Boot (if necessary)
If you’re using an older computer or a system that doesn’t support UEFI firmware with UEFI secure boot enabled, you’ll need to disable it first. To do this:
- Press and hold the key F10 while booting your computer.
- Select “Secure Boot” from the menu.
- If your computer is set up to enable Secure Boot, you’ll see a prompt asking you to enter your password.
Step 3: Create a Bootable USB Drive (optional)
If you want to install Windows 10 directly onto the USB drive, follow these steps:
- Open Rufus and select the ISO file as the source.
- Choose the bootable USB drive (usually labeled “USB Drive” in Rufus).
- Set the drive letter and select it for the installation.
Step 4: Boot from the USB Drive
Now that you’ve created a bootable USB drive, insert it into your computer. The USB drive should now be recognized by the operating system as an external drive. You can verify this by checking the Device Manager (Windows key + X and selecting Device Manager).
Once inserted, restart your computer. The BIOS will load the USB drive automatically. This is usually done in a few seconds.
Step 5: Enter Safe Mode
In Safe Mode, Windows loads only essential services and drivers. To enter Safe Mode:
- Press F8 (or Shift + F8) during boot.
- Select “Safe Mode” from the menu.
- If your computer crashes or freezes during this process, you’ll need to press the ESC key to disable Safe Mode.
Step 6: Enter BIOS Setup
To configure UEFI settings for Boot Priority:
- Press F11 (or Esc + F11).
- Choose a boot priority option that suits your needs. For most users, Set the USB drive as the first boot device.
- Save changes and exit BIOS setup.
Step 7: Install Windows 10 from the USB Drive
Windows will now boot directly onto the USB drive. Follow these steps to install Windows:
- Choose your language, country or region, and keyboard layout.
- Select “Install Now” in the installation wizard.
- Accept the terms of service and go through the remaining options.
Step 8: Complete the Installation
The installation process will begin automatically. You may be asked to select a partition scheme for your hard drive (C:). Follow these steps:
- Choose a suitable partition scheme, such as “New” or “Replace existing partition”.
- Enter a disk size for the installation.
- Accept the terms of service and go through the remaining options.
Step 9: Activate Windows 10
Once installed, you’ll be prompted to activate your copy of Windows. Follow these steps:
- Select “I accept the License Agreement” from the activation window.
- Enter your product key (if you purchased a license).
- Click Next and follow any additional prompts.
Step 10: Complete Final Steps
The installation is now complete! You can now shut down your computer to boot normally, and Windows 10 should be installed on your USB drive.
Congratulations, you’ve successfully installed Windows 10 from a downloaded ISO image using Rufus!
