How to Prepare a Bootable USB for Windows Server 2016 Installation

To begin setting up your system, first download the Windows Server 2016 .iso file, then proceed to create a bootable USB drive.

Remember: A 16 GB USB stick is required for this process.

For creating the drive, we recommend using:

Rufus

  1. Click here to download Rufus for free.
  2. Navigate to the Download section to find the latest version.
  3. Insert your USB stick and open the Rufus application.
  4. Press Select to find and choose the Windows Server 2016 .iso file.
  5. Hit Start and allow Rufus to process the creation of your bootable drive.
    6. Be aware: A window titled 'Customize Windows Installation' will pop up, choose the Disable Data Collection option and continue the process.
  6. Once Rufus indicates 'Ready' on the progress bar, click Close; your USB is now set to install Windows Server 2016.
