In comparison to Windows 10, Windows 11 is more polished. Many UI modifications were made, including colorful icons, rounded edges, new backgrounds, and more. You most likely want to install Windows 11 on your computer.

Microsoft has moved the start menu from its typical position on the far left to somewhere around the center. Also new in Windows 11 is the pop-up start menu window, which features a new set of icons, a fluid interface, and curvey borders for windows, providing a novel experience. Programs are pinned to the top of the start menu, and below that are the files that were last visited and the buttons for turning off the machine.

The Windows search has been updated, and it now uses a magnifying glass icon in the system tray to do searches. Quick search phrases and a list of recent search terms are meant to make the user’s search easier and faster. The new window control is a useful feature that should be included with Windows 11. Windows may now not only be maximized or shrunk but also positioned in a certain corner of the screen or organized side by side, unlike in the past. In comparison to Windows 10, there are more default themes this time.

When you have difficulties with your operating system and wish to reinstall it or upgrade to a newer version with more features, having a bootable Windows USB is always a smart idea.

What is Rufus?

Rufus is a portable program for Microsoft Windows that can format and produce bootable USB flash sticks or Live USBs.

It’s especially beneficial in situations like these:

• When you need to make USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Mac, Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
• When you want to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
• When you need to work on a system that doesn’t have an OS installed
• When you desire to run a low-level utility

Rufus, despite its little size, has everything you need! On the other hand, Rufus is much fast.
