Download Rufus 3.9
Version 3.9 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. In version 3.9, the following changes and improvements have been made:

- Add exFAT support when creating blank UEFI:NTFS drives [EXPERIMENTAL]
