Ubuntu Linux

Rufus is a live USB media creation tool. The application runs on Windows and it can be used to make a bootable installation USB flash drives from Windows or Linux ISO files as well as disk images.

Rufus 3.0 was released recently and it includes a redesigned user interface, SSL used for all external downloads (the application needs to download some files in some situations to make the bootable USB drives), and a few other minor improvements and bug fixes.

Also, with this release, Rufus 3.0 no longer supports Windows XP or Vista. Windows 7, 8, and 10 continue to be supported. You can still create a bootable USB drive from Windows Vista or XP if you download an older Rufus version, but do switch to a newer Windows version or even Linux, because those Windows versions are no longer supported.
