How to make a bootable USB device?


USB boot is the process of using a USB storage device to boot or start a computer's operating system. It enables computer hardware to use a USB storage stick to get all essential system booting information and files rather than the standard/native hard disk or the CD drive.


In this tutorial, we are going to use Rufus software to make a bootable USB drive. There are many other ways to make a bootable drive but this software is most easy and convenient. It is also a lightweight freeware
