How to Install windows or any other OS with pen drive..
Mostly of us don't know how to install any OS with pen drive . this post is for them who never installed windows or any other OS from removable drive. but the people who never installed one found it very difficult. But installation with CD is very easy just who have to download the ISO image of Windows burn it on CD restart your PC and it says to press any key to start installation then after pressing key your installation started . But with pen drive method is also same with that of CD method except you need only a software named Rufus or window's own software to burn ISO image in pen-drive .it is not difficult than it looks so. Well for these you have so some steps and needs some setting to be changed in BIOS menu that's all nothing more than this . so let's starts with step wise..
STEP :- [1]
First of all you need a pen drive of the size greater than the size os image which you want to install . For example normally size of windows 10 multi architecture is more than 4GB so you need a pen-drive of 8GB or more .
Remember to format the pen-drive before starting the installation process. if you have useful information in pen-drive then you need to move that data in any other locations like in hard-disk , another pen-drive .
STEP :- [2]
Now you need a software named as "RUFUS" which you can download from the link given below. This download link is official link.
DOWNLOAD
Download Rufus from above link. Below the screenshot of Rufus is given when you launch it.
When you launch this software it will look like this screen-shot given above. It is not installation software. It don't install on your pc but you have to start it every time through the downloaded file.
STEP :- [3]
Now I suppose you have ISO image file of operating system to be burn in pen-drive . If you don't have yet then you can download by searching in google for instance if you need windows 10 ISO image file then simply type ''download windows 10 ISO '' in google search box . There are many free OS in the market you can get their ISO file free some of them are Linux , Debian , boss etc.
STEP :- [4]
Now all you need to open Rufus software and select ISO image file in this . For this you have to click on the CD-ROM given in middle right side in Rufus like as seen in picture below simply click on that icon and browse for required ISO image file in your directories and click OK . Remember to keep all other settings as like as given in picture below and then click on start .
STEP :- [5]
Now it will give you some warning just keep clicking on continue or OK button . It will take about 30 minutes depending on the size of ISO file . Bigger the size of image file more the time will take . When it will done just close all the files and restart your PC and get into boot menu . Boot menu is the menu where all the settings regarding your computers booting is kept. Where we reach mostly by pressing DEL or F2 key just after when you turn on your CPU or when you see your computer manufacturer s logo .
STEP :- [6]
In bios menu go to boot settings tab and then go to boot priority option and select USB in this option. If you don't found boot settings tab then simply search for boot priority option in bios menu. Now all done and save these settings and restart you PC or laptop.
In the pictures given I shown how to set boot priority to remove able media in my PC .
Now it will ask to press any key to boot like it used to ask when booting from CD-ROM . Simply press any key and all done . Now install like normally you used to do with CD-ROM .
