Download and install Linux Mint and Rufus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Navigate to Linux Mint’s<\/a> website<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Download the latest desktop release (currently 22.3 “Zena”) and save to your computer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Navigate to the Rufus<\/a> website. Rufus is used to create your bootable USB flashdrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do NOT click “Download” on the top of this page<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scroll down to the Download area<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

In this case rufus-4.13.exe<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create Bootable USB Flash drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your USB Flash drive is plugged into your computer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Find Rufus<\/strong>-4.13 in your Downloads directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rufus does not need to be installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Rufus-4.13[.exe]<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Windows will confirm that you want to run Rufus<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Select your USB flash drive under “Device.” Rufus will probably automatically select it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click Select<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Choose the linuxmint-22.3 disk image<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Confirm that the “Device” is your USB flash drive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select “Start” to write Mint to the flash drive<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Write in ISO Image Mode<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

This is your confirmation that you will be rewriting the USB flash drive<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

It will take several minutes to write Linux Mint to the flash drive<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

When the operation is complete, press “Close”<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Make sure you “Safely Remove Hardware”<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Select the device you need to remove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my case it was the
DT 101 G2 LINUX MINT (E:)<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

You will get a message stating it is safe to remove the USB flash drive.<\/p>\n<\/div>
