Download Rufus 3.1

Version 3.1 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. Incidentally, 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 discontinued. The following improvements have also been made in version 3.1:

Version 3.1 (2018.06.19)

• Increase size of the ESP to 300MB, for Windows To Go drives partitioned as GPT
