Creating Bootable Windows 11 Media: A Step-by-Step Guide

To initiate the Windows 11 installation, first, secure the Windows 11 ISO file. This file can be used to prepare a bootable USB drive, commonly known as a pendrive, for the installation process.

Note: Ensure your USB has at least 16 GB of storage space available.

Recommended software for this process includes:

Rufus

  1. Grab your free copy of Rufus here.
  2. Navigate to the Download section and select the latest version of Rufus to download.
  3. Insert your USB device and open the Rufus application.
  4. Select Select, then locate and select the Windows 11 ISO file you want to use.
  5. Hit Start and wait as Rufus writes the ISO to the USB, making it bootable.
  6. Note: A customization menu may appear titled 'Customize Windows Installation'. Opt to Disable Data Collection before proceeding.
  7. Once the USB setup is complete (progress bar reaches 100%), click on Close to finalize the process.
Note: Select the GPT partition scheme for PCs post-2020 and MBR for older models.

MediaCreationTool

  1. Download the MediaCreationTool for free here.
  2. Hit Download now.
  3. Agree to the terms to proceed with installation, then click Accept.
  4. In the subsequent menu, select your language and edition of Windows. Hit Next.
  5. Note: If the preselected language and Windows edition do not match your preferences, deselect Use the recommended options for this PC to make your own selections.
  6. Opt for USB flash drive and press Next.
  7. This will initiate the download and configuration on your USB drive.
Note: If your USB is not recognized immediately, restart the application without detaching the USB from your PC. Remember, the data on the USB will be erased.
