Creating a bootable Linux Fedora USB stick from Windows OS

Installing and running Fedora Media Writer

On Windows

1. Download the latest Windows Installer file from GetFedora.org. The server automatically detects the running system and offers you the correct installation file for your Windows version.
2. Run the installation by double clicking the installer, and then continue through the set-up wizard. The Wizard lets you customize the software’s installation if you choose to.
3. Run the application by clicking on a launcher.
   In Windows 8 and 10, the Fedora Media Writer launcher will be placed in the All apps menu under F. In Windows 10, you can just type Fedora Media Writer in the search box on the task bar.

4. Writing the ISO image to the USB Media.

   1. Select the Fedora Edition you wish to make a bootable USB drive for.

You can choose a different architecture, if you select Other variants.
   2. Select "Create Live USB" to proceed.
