    Hi there! Under “Boot Selection” in Rufus, UEFI is not an option. All it says is “Disk or ISO imagine (Please select)”. Does UEFI have to already be installed in your version of Windows for this to work? If there is no UEFI in your version of windows, is it not possible to boot from UEFI on a USB?

      So strangely enough, after trying this two or three times, suddenly I had ten options appear on the drop down menu when there had been none all the other times I tried it! Technology is so frustratingly mysterious at time! Thanks, y’all.

    Thank you for this! Tried to use the official Windows tool and it wouldn’t recognise my USB so came to you instead and am now typing from my Windows 10 PC!
