Where Rufus fits
Use it when preparing an installation drive from an official image file.
Check before you choose
Double-check the selected USB device because writing the image can erase existing contents.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Identify the problem before installing a utility. File search, remote support, hardware inspection and bootable media preparation need different permissions and can affect the computer in different ways.
