Need some help to create EndeavourOS bootable usb on Windows 11
About creating EndeavourOS bootable USB on Windows PC, first thing you need to know: don’t use the wrong USB drive! I once thought I could just grab any random USB stick around my house. You know, the one that's usually serving as a 'drop zone' for my failed attempts at organizing? Big mistake. Now, when you format that USB, do NOT choose “Quick Format” like you're just tidying up your desktop files. Nope! You need to select “Full Format.” It's not just a cosmetic upgrade; it’s like giving the USB stick a full spa day. It'll do wonders when you load the EndeavourOS onto it.
Now, speaking of software, a lot of people will suggest tools like Rufus or Balenaa Ettcher to making EndeavourOS bootable USB on Windows. They’re like that cool kid in school who is just good at everything—except they’re not going to help you if you skip steps! Choose the right partition scheme based on your system. GPT for UEFI systems and MBR for BIOS. It’s all very important unless you enjoy staring at a screen saying, “No Boot Device Found,” trying to figure out if that’s a sign from a higher power.
And let’s talk about the ISO file you’re downloading. Listen, make sure it’s not a sneaky fake one! I made that mistake once, thinking I downloaded the latest version of EndeavourOS only for my computer to greet me with a blue screen. And not the colorful one that says, “Hello!” It was the one screaming “You’re doomed!” Who knew an ISO file could be so dramatic?
Good luck creating EndeavourOS bootable USB on Windows PC.
