How do I create installation media for Windows Server 2016?

After downloading the installation file (Windows Server 2016 .iso), create a bootable USB (pendrive) to perform the installation.

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

The application you can use in this process is:

Rufus

  1. Download it for free here.
  2. Scroll down and download the most up-to-date version of Rufus in the Download section.
  3. Connect the USB and then open the Rufus program.
  4. Click Select and locate the Windows Server 2016 .iso file you wish to set up.
  5. Lastly, click Start and wait for the program to create the bootable USB drive.
    6. Note: A popup window called Customize Windows Installation will appear, select the Disable Data Collection option and wait for the program to create the bootable USB drive.
  6. Once the setup is complete (progress bar shows Ready), click Close and it's all set to install Windows Server 2016.
