![]() ![]() You can set Volume label to whatever you want, set File system to Large FAT32, and set the cluster size to 32 kilobytes. Open up Rufus, select the USB you want to put Fedora on, select the Fedora ISO for boot selection, set partition scheme to MBR and target system to BIOS or UEFI. My recommended tool for flashing Fedora is Rufus so make sure to download that, along with a Fedora ISO. Make sure that you’re USB has atleast 4 GBs of space. But VERY IMPORTANT: BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR DRIVES DO MAKE SURE TO BACKUP. Now to apply the changes click on Shrink. ![]() Make sure to not shrink it to have less than what Windows is currently using, and make sure that Windows has atleast some free space left (maybe 30-40GB or so) to give Windows some leeway after the dual boot. Now enter the amount of space you want to give Linux (in MB) into the “Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB”. To do that right click you’re C: partition and go to shrink volume. Next up, we are going to right click the C drive (or whatever drive Windows is on) and we are going to shrink the partition to make room for a Linux partition. It is most likely going to be Disk 0, but make sure to double check if you have multiple drives. Next, we are going to figure out which drive we want to resize. Otherwise, to do this, first open the Disk management app in Windows, and you should see a screen that looks something like this: If you are dual booting with more than one drive, skip this section. With that, the next thing on the docket is to give Fedora a place to install. To turn it off, head over to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options and than System Settings, and disable Fast Startup. This however can cause instability on a dual boot. Before starting this whole process, we are first going to want to turn off fast startup in Windows to prevent it loading in the Windows Kernel from your hard drive to increase boot save (it’s like a mix between a regular shutdown and Hibernation). ![]()
