Rufus
Rufus was originally designed as a modern open-source replacement
for the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool for Windows, which was primarily
used to create DOS bootable USB flash drives.
The first official release of Rufus, version 1.0.3 (earlier versions were internal/alpha only), was released on December 04, 2011, with originally only MS-DOS support. Version 1.0.4 introduced FreeDOS support and version 1.1.0 introduced ISO image support. Until 1.2.0, two separate versions were provided, with one for MS-DOS and one for FreeDOS UEFI boot support was introduced with version 1.3.2, localization with 1.4.0 and Windows To Go with 2.0. The last version compatible with Windows XP and Vista is 2.18, while the last version compatible with Windows 7 operating systems is Rufus 3.22, as Rufus 4.0 increased the minimum version requirement to require Windows 8 or later
