One of the strengths of Rufus is that it doesn't require any installation. The only things you need to carry out any of these operations, of course, are the images of the operating systems themselves, which you can download from their respective websites. You can even create Windows installations from the ISO image. Thanks to this, it's possible to install Linux distributions or images to use on devices such as a Raspberry Pi. You can create partition types such as Syslinux, ReactOS, Grub, UEFI: NTFS, or the aforementioned FreeDOS. Its versatility lets you format a new drive, as well as install Linux, Windows, and even FreeDOS disk images, which, in fact, comes built into the application itself. Rufus is a tool for Windows that lets you create boot devices from external storage units, like USB flash drives and SD cards.
