How can I make installation media for Windows Server 2016?

Once you've downloaded the Windows Server 2016 .iso file, you need to create a bootable USB stick for the installation process.

Note: A USB drive with at least 16 GB of storage is required.

The tool you can use for this task is:

Rufus

  1. Download Rufus for free here.
  2. Scroll down to the Download section and get the latest version of Rufus.
  3. Plug in your USB drive and then launch the Rufus application.
  4. Click Select and navigate to the Windows Server 2016 .iso file you want to use.
  5. Finally, click Start and wait while the program makes your USB drive bootable.
  6. Note: A window named Customize Windows Installation will appear; choose Disable Data Collection and wait for the process to finish.
  7. When the progress bar reaches Ready, click Close. Your bootable USB for installing Windows Server 2016 is now ready.
