How do I create installation media for Windows Server 2022?

Once you’ve downloaded the installation file (Windows Server 2022 .iso), create a bootable USB drive (pendrive) to perform the installation.

Note: You’ll need a USB device with a minimum memory of 16GB.

The application you can use for this process is:

Rufus

• Download it for free here.
• Scroll down and download the most up-to-date version of Rufus in the Download section.

• Connect the USB and then open the Rufus programme
• Click on Select and find the Windows Server 2022 .iso file you want to set up.

• Finally, click on Start and wait for the programme to create the bootable USB drive.

Note: It will show a popup window called Customize Windows Installation, select option 3 Disable Data Collection and wait for the program to create the bootable USB drive.

• Once the setup is complete (Prepared progress bar), click on Close and you’ll be ready to install Windows Server 2022.
