   2. Open Rufus, select the device. The selected device should display capacity consistent with the inserted burning card capacity.

   

   3. Select the image file, click the Select button on the right side of the Boot type selection, and select the .img file after decompression.

   4. After selecting the image file, the Boot type selection will become the name of the image file.

      

   5. Click the Start button, if a window pops up prompting that disk data needs to be cleared, click OK.
