Step 3: Create a Bootable USB Drive
- Open Rufus and select the Windows 11 ISO file as the source.
- Set the boot order to priority 1 (USB) and set the disk order to the primary hard drive.
- Choose the USB drive as the destination.
- Select the partition scheme: Primary, Extended or MBR (Master Boot Record).
- Click “Create” to start creating the bootable USB drive.
Step 4: Insert the USB Drive and Boot Up Your Computer
- Insert the Rufus-created USB drive into your computer’s USB port.
- Restart your computer immediately after inserting the USB drive.
The installation process will begin, and you’ll see a progress bar on your screen as it loads Windows 11.

Once the installation is complete, follow the on-screen instructions to:
- Set up your username and password.
