How to Create Installation Media for Windows Server 2016

After downloading the installation file (Windows Server 2016 .iso), you need to create a bootable USB drive to perform the installation.

Note: A USB device with at least 16 GB of memory is required.

The tool you can use for this process is:

Rufus

  1. Download Rufus for free here.
  2. Scroll down to the Download section and get the latest version of Rufus.
  3. Connect your USB drive and then launch the Rufus application.
  4. Click on Select and navigate to the Windows Server 2016 .iso file you want to use.
  5. Finally, click Start and wait for Rufus to create the bootable USB drive.
    6. Note: A popup window titled Customize Windows Installation will appear; choose the Disable Data Collection option and wait for Rufus to complete the process.
  6. Once the process is complete (progress bar shows Ready), click Close and you're ready to install Windows Server 2016.
