Optimal configurations for Rufus on Windows 10 SSD clean installation?
I've been watching YouTube and researching settings for a clean Windows 10 ISO installation using Rufus. There are many suggestions—some recommend leaving the default, others suggest specific options like MBR or GPT. The file system choice is unclear, and I’m not sure which settings fit my PC best.
I've worked with rufus on both Linux and Windows Server/Desktop systems, and I've never faced any issues when leaving everything as the default (the selection you make when choosing an ISO). I've set it up on at least 50 different hardware configurations without encountering any problems.
When setting up your OS drive, GPT and MBR play a role. During installation, they aren't crucial. The default options work, just rename the drive to a name you prefer.
