Even if you don’t need it right away, there may come a time when you want the above-mentioned tasks done for some reason or the other on your PC, and when that happens and you don’t have an essential part of the process on hand…well, that would be frustrating now, wouldn’t it?

Now that you are armed with what you need, let’s put them to use…
You’ll have to make sure that you select your CD or DVD according to the size of the ISO file in question; And once all of that is said and done and you’re good to go, if you already have the bootable ISO file and Windows 10 then here it’s a simple matter of popping in the disc, selecting the file to be burned into it, and then sitting back to relax while it gets done in a few minutes. If you are not certain that you have the right ISO, it takes a little bit more work, but is still simple. You need a bootable disc creator. These are different things for bootable disc and bootable USB sticks. For a disc, you can use “Free ISO Burner” which is free windows support software and can work for you and for USB, I actually prefer “Rufus (Also Free)”. Or otherwise, if you have windows then for this task, Windows 7 offers a small tool named Windows Disc Image Burner, while Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 offer this function directly from File Explorer.
Now the only thing what you’ll need to is to, double click on the .ISO file of yours and just click on the “Burn” button to write that whole bootable .ISO file into it.
For USB drives, the simplest, easiest to use tool I have ever seen is Rufus, whose latest version is less than 1 MB in size and yet manages to do everything you need it to do. I’ve never hidden the fact that I’m a big fan of the “no-fuss, no-hassle, no-showboating” type stuff when it comes to tech, and Rufus is exactly this. It also happens to be a portable executable file with no installation necessary – just run it and go. Admin-level access is necessary on the computer you are using in order to run Rufus. The Rufus interface is similar to the window that appears when you right-click on a USB drive and select Format. You can even use Rufus to format a drive and do nothing else. Choose your device at the top selector, make sure that the three checkboxes Quick Format, Create Bootable Disk Using and Create Extended Label and Icon files have all been checked. Next to the Create Bootable Disk option you should see a file selector, use it to pick out the ISO image. When you’re ready, hit Start. Wait for it to finish, and you’re done.
