Creating a Manjaro bootable USB on Windows is easier than you might think, and you can do it for free using a tool called Rufus. First, make sure you have your Manjaro ISO file ready (sounds like you do!). Now, you'll want to download Rufus. Just hop over to the Rufus website and grab the latest version (it's a small file that doesn’t need installation—just run it).
Open Rufus (running it as an administrator is a good idea). You'll see a simple interface:
- Device: Choose your USB drive from the dropdown menu.
- Boot Selection: Click on SELECT and find your Manjaro ISO.
- Partition Scheme: If your computer is using UEFI, choose GPT. For older BIOS systems, go with MBR.
- File System: Set this to FAT32—it's the most compatible.
Final Touches
Once you have successfully created a Manjaro bootable USB on Windows PC, safely eject your USB. Now, you can reboot your computer, press the right key to access the BIOS (usually something like F2, Del, or ESC), and set the USB drive as the first boot device. If your laptop has Secure Boot enabled, you might need to turn that off in BIOS settings. Also, disabling Fast Boot can help make sure your USB is recognized.
