Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

Rufus v4.15

👉 Create bootable USB drives easily and quickly.

Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys, memory sticks, and other removable media. It is especially useful for cases where you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs, including Windows, Linux, and other operating systems, or when working on systems that lack an optical drive.

Rufus is known for its speed and reliability, offering advanced options for power users while remaining simple enough for beginners. It supports UEFI and legacy BIOS, allows selection of partition schemes and file systems, and includes options for handling ISO images with custom settings.




Features:
• Create bootable USB drives from ISO images
• Supports UEFI and legacy BIOS
• MBR and GPT partition schemes
• FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, UDF, and ReFS file systems
• Detects USB devices automatically
• Advanced formatting and drive options
• Portable, no installation required

Supported operating systems:
• Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11

Supported languages:
English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Polish, Dutch, Greek, Turkish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Slovak, Slovenian, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Hebrew, Persian
