- Press Start and wait as the software crafts your bootable drive.
- When the process completes and the progress bar reaches 100%, click Close to finalize.
Note: A dialog named 'Customize Windows Installation' will appear, opt for Disable Data Collection and proceed.
Note: Choose GPT as the partition scheme for post-2020 PCs, and MBR for older models.
