With version 3.0, support for UEFI: NTFS for ARM64 has been added, and support for Windows XP and Windows Vista has been discontinued. Rufus can be run directly after the download without installation. Since version 1.3.2, the Rufus developers have integrated UEFI support on installation media into the software in addition to GPT. The file systems FAT32, exFAT, UDF and NTFS are supported. Afterwards, the storage medium is automatically formatted and the data is transferred. Then it is determined on which storage medium this image file should be executed. statusprogress is used to show the progress bar. Here, if defines the input file and of defines the output path, in this case the USB thumb drive /dev/sdb. After opening, the application asks for the source of the ISO file. Now, to make a bootable USB thumb drive of Debian 10, run the following command: sudo dd if / Downloads / debian-live-10.0.0-amd64-gnome.iso of / dev / sdb bs 1M. The operation of Rufus remains despite this speed but quite traditional. The handy software should lead to the success of creating a Windows 7 installation medium with an ISO about twice as fast as well-known programs such as UNetbootin or Universal USB.
But the developers of Rufus want to be able to offer a clear advantage with their program. There are many different applications available to Windows users for creating bootable USB sticks.
