Creating a bootable Ubuntu USB stick from Microsoft Windows is very simple and we’re going to cover the process in the next few steps. Alternatively, we also have tutorials to help you create a bootable USB stick from both Ubuntu and Apple macOS. 2. RequirementsYou will need:
Take note of where your browser saves downloads: this is normally a directory called ‘Downloads’ on your Windows PC. Don’t download the ISO image directly to the USB stick! If using Windows XP or Vista, download version 2.18 of Rufus. 3. USB selectionPerform the following to configure your USB device in Rufus:
You can avoid the hassle of selecting from a list of USB devices by ensuring no other devices are connected. 4. Select the Ubuntu ISO fileTo select the Ubuntu ISO file you downloaded previously, click the SELECT to the right of “Boot selection”. If this is the only ISO file present in the Downloads folder you will only see one file listed. Select the appropriate ISO file and click on Open. 5. Write the ISOThe Volume label will be updated to reflect the ISO selected. Leave all other parameters with their default values and click START to initiate the write process. 6. Additional downloadsYou may be alerted that Rufus requires additional files to complete writing the ISO. If this dialog box appears, select Yes to continue. 7. Write warningsYou will then be alerted that Rufus has detected that the Ubuntu ISO is an ISOHybrid image. This means the same image file can be used as the source for both a DVD and a USB stick without requiring conversion. Keep Write in ISO Image mode selected and click on OK to continue. Rufus will also warn you that all data on your selected USB device is about to be destroyed. This is a good moment to double check you’ve selected the correct device before clicking OK when you’re confident you have. If your USB stick contains multiple partitions Rufus will warn you in a separate pane that these will also be destroyed. 8. Writing the ISOThe ISO will now be written to your USB stick, and the progress bar in Rufus will give you some indication of where you are in the process. With a reasonably modern machine, this should take around 10 minutes. Total elapsed time is shown in the lower right corner of the Rufus window. 9. Installation completeWhen Rufus has finished writing the USB device, the Status bar will be filled green and the word READY will appear in the center. Select CLOSE to complete the write process. Congratulations! You now have Ubuntu on a USB stick, bootable and ready to go. To use it you need to insert the stick into your target PC or laptop and reboot the device. It should recognise the installation media automatically during startup but you may need to hold down a specific key (usually F12) to bring up the boot menu and choose to boot from USB.
