Ethcher for easy bootable USB on all platforms

Ethcher: A few years ago, creating a bootable USB was not that easy. Years ago, CD / DVDs were the main method of distributing operating systems.

In the case of buying a new computer you would always have an 'installation disk', or if there was none you could create one from within the operating system.

Since then, however, things have changed and you can download any operating software online and easily create a bootable USB for any system you are interested in. Provided you have the right application to do it.

Let's see how it works very easily from any operating systemEthcher

To create a bootable USB you need a disc image or ISO. An ISO is basically a file that contains that can be written to an optical disc such as a CD or DVD. He is essentially one installation.

For Windows 10, you can download the ISO image through the Microsoft Media Builder. For all Linux distributions, you can download the ISO you are interested in from the official distribution page. You will only encounter problems if you are trying to find some ISO for macOS operating because they are not readily available. For these ISOs you may have to search for torrents.

Let's create the USB

Some operating systems, such as macOS, come with utilities for the of a disk image to a USB, but still no. The MacOS program is a bit complicated especially if you are a beginner.

Today we will try something simpler.

The Ethcher tool is available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. All you need is the ISO file and a USB. The application will take care of everything else in three simple steps.

After (easily) creating the bootable USB, you can use it to boot your computer from the USB and not from your operating system. In some cases, you may need to change the cm orders from your computer's BIOS so that it reads USB first instead of your hard drive.

Download the application for your operating system.

Good luck…
