With Rufus, you can create USB installation media from bootable ISOs, work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed, flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS and run a low-level utility. It is a powerful utility tool for creating portable bootable versions of operating systems on USB flash such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Rufus supports all types of USB and can format the connected devices and create media installation from ISO files. Rufus does not need setup, just download it, insert your storage device (USB) and start creating bootable USB flash drives.
