![]() The first version of Rufus was made available to the public on December 11, 2011. The app was originally meant to be a replacement for HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, a native Windows software widely used for formatting drives. Rufus can be used to make exactly such a USB device, but can do so for just about any OS, including Linux, macOS, and even Ubuntu. The official method as demonstrated by Microsoft was to load a Windows OS onto a pen drive, which when inserted into a CPU, will use that CPU’s hardware (except for the hard drives) to run the Windows OS which had been earlier flashed onto the drive. The best example of such a device is the Windows To Go. Rufus, as mentioned before, creates flashable USB drives and creates flashable OSes that are ready to boot.
