Rufus 2.17 Build 1198 Download ((better))

Rufus is a free and open-source utility that allows users to create bootable USB drives from ISO images. It is a lightweight and portable tool that can be run from a USB drive or a CD/DVD. Rufus supports a wide range of file systems, including FAT, FAT32, NTFS, UDF, and exFAT, making it a versatile tool for creating bootable USB drives.

Later versions of Rufus (3.x and above) have dropped or altered support for older Windows imaging techniques. Version 2.17 build 1198 is tailor-made for creating bootable Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 USB drives without the extra telemetry or Secure Boot quirks found in newer builds.
