Popular Post Seafood Posted January 11, 2014 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 11, 2014 Hi Guys Been using this utility now for approx. nine months & works well with my testing on W7, W8 , W8.1 & W10 too! It will work on large capacity USB thumb drives & is so handy as you can put all your progs & OS on the same drive & install. Homepage & download Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need!
