How to Boot Your Desktop Computer from a Flash Sticks?

These days, with technology moving so fast, booting your desktop from a USB drive has become super common for things like installing systems, fixing issues, or backing up data. In this article, I'll walk you through how to set up USB booting on your desktop so you can easily tackle whatever you need.

First step, you'll want to check and adjust your BIOS settings.

● BIOS (which stands for Basic Input/Output System) is basically the brain that keeps track of all your computer's hardware setup. To change the boot order and get your computer to start from a USB thumb drive, just restart it and quickly hit the right key (like Del, F2, or F10—this depends on what brand of computer you have) when you see the logo pop up. This will take you into the BIOS settings menu. From there, look for something called "Boot" or "Startup," then use the arrow keys to move the USB option to be first in line as your preferred boot choice. Once you've done that, hit F10 to save everything and exit out of BIOS.

Second step, getting yourself a bootable USB drive ready—this part is really important!

● Make sure your flash disk drive has enough space and back up any important files because creating a bootable drive will wipe everything on it clean. After that, download an operating system installation program or repair tool; usually this comes as an ISO image file. Then grab some handy tools like Rufus or UltraISO to write that ISO file onto your USB stick so it becomes bootable.

Three step, boot up the computer using a USB flash drive.

● First, plug in your ready-to-go bootable USB drive into the computer. Then, restart it and hit the right key (like F12 or F8) while it's starting up to get into the boot menu. From there, choose the option to boot from the USB and press Enter. At this point, your computer will load either the operating system installation program or a repair tool from that USB stick, so you can go ahead with whatever you need to do next.

Just keep in mind that different brands and models of computers might have some variations in BIOS settings, startup shortcuts, and other stuff like that. So before diving in, it's a good idea to check out your user manual or visit the official support website to make sure you're doing everything correctly. With what we've covered here, I'm sure you'll be able to set up USB boot on desktop computers easily—making it way simpler to tackle any system issues you might run into!
