I have using DD image mode, Rufus is a program that allows you to create a bootable USB drive from an .iso file, dd is a cloning tool. dd always makes a 1:1 copy, writing exactly what it reads. Follow these method

On some system if used iso image mode it will ask for installation source during setup process it will ask Installation source like I got following:

Continue with making USB drive
