How to create fedora bootable usb from Windows 11?
My 15 years old HP laptop is now running very slow with Windows 10 and I already got a new Windows 11 laptop. I'm planning to install Fedora on the old computer and need to create fedora bootable USB...
Creating a Fedora bootable USB from Windows is definitely a smooth process, but there are some drawbacks and potential pitfalls to be aware of. I've been there myself, and things can get a little annoying at times, so let's break it down:
- If you're not a tech-savvy person, choosing the right options in tools like Rufus can be tricky. Choosing the wrong device or the wrong settings can result in data loss or an unbootable USB. I've had moments where I was sure I had the right drive selected, only to find out that I accidentally formatted my external hard drive.
- While most USB drives work fine, occasionally, a USB can have issues and not boot properly. I've come across situations where a USB drive worked fine on one operating system, but didn't play nice with Linux. If you have problems booting, you may need to try a different drive or reformat it, which can be a hassle.
