Rufus is good for Win11, too

Is Rufus better than the Windows Media Creation Tool?

If you are looking for the full Windows experience, you may want to use the Media Creation Tool instead. But if you want something that can help get around some of the more annoying Windows requirements and be used for other ISOs such as Linux, then Rufus is going to be the better method for you.

Rufus has some easy-to-choose options to help you bypass Windows requirements, such as the 4GB+ RAM, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0 requirements. You can also use Rufus to get around the requirement to have an online Microsoft account, which is pretty much being forced on anyone installing Windows 11 these days. Rufus will even create a local account which you can change the name of right inside the Rufus program itself, making your Windows installation even easier.

While Microsoft is trying to invade your privacy as much as possible, Rufus is here to help, and even has the option to disable data collection which will skip the privacy settings during installation. While this won't be for everyone, it is great for those looking to install their Windows operating system as quickly as possible. The options in Rufus really do make installing Windows as easy as possible.

If you are looking to make your Windows experience a bit more discreet, you can read our guide on how to make Windows 11 more private. This will walk you through a few different options you can do to help reduce the amount of data that Windows 11 collects about you.
