Try reinstalling Windows on your laptop. Your motherboard uses UEFI, which means it handles booting differently than older BIOS systems. The guide suggests formatting a USB drive as FAT32 to make it bootable with Rufus. Since your OS must be under 4GB, you may need to use a smaller installation media or adjust the settings accordingly.

Sure, just avoid using FAT 32 and it should function properly.

It seems you're questioning the necessity of Rufus. This method offers a reliable way to create a bootable USB with Windows installed.

I used it earlier, so I figured I’d reuse it again.

It's not necessary, yet it depends on the UEFI setup. The MOBO's BIOS offers more interaction compared to a standard BIOS (basic input/output system).

Windows offers a bootable USB creator that prepares your USB drive using the ISO file, making it ready to use immediately. You can find more details on the Microsoft website.

It usually functions well for me; just change it to FAT 32 and pick your preferred format.
