What You Need:

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Extract the ISO File: Download a Windows 10 ISO file from a reputable source, such as Microsoft’s official website or a trusted online storage service.
- Choose the correct USB Drive: Go to Rufus and select the USB drive you want to use for installation. Ensure that the drive is not already in use by another operating system or device.

- Wipe Free Space: Check the «Wipe free space» box, then select a partition size (or leave it at its default) and click «Next».
- Erase Data on the Target Drive: Rufus will now erase all data on the target drive, so make sure to enter your password to protect your data.
- Start Installation: Click «Start» to begin the installation process.

Troubleshooting Tips:
- If Rufus doesn’t detect the USB drive or if the installation fails, check that the ISO file is not corrupted and try again.
