Download Rufus 3.5

Version 3.5 of Rufus has been released. Rufus is a Windows program that can be used to create self-starting USB sticks. Useful, for example, to install an operating system, which is faster from a USB stick than from a CD or DVD, to update the bios or to access a system that no longer wants to start. By the way, there are a large number of tools with which this can be done, but Rufus claims to be one of the fastest of its kind. Since version 3.0, the program has been given a slightly different look and support for Windows XP and Vista has been dropped. The following improvements have also been made in version 3.5:
