YUMI USB

When a screen with the model of the motherboard comes out (normally) you will have to press the Delete / Delete button. If you do it in time, you will switch to the BIOS screen.

There you should look for something similar to 'Power' or 'Start Options' , but we cannot tell you with certainty, since each brand has a different menu. Once there, you will have to find the order of the boot devices and put USB first on the list.

We recommend looking for the model of your motherboard to navigate more comfortably in this environment.

To explain it in a simple way, the Operating System (Windows, Ubuntu…) is installed in your main memory (an SSD or HDD) . The system detects it and when the computer is started it starts the OS from there. However, what we want to do is start the computer from the program that we have installed on the pendrive.

When you get it, you will see a screen like the following, where you can install any Operating System that you have added with YUMI USB.

As you may already know, Windows is not a free Operating System , that is, you need to buy a license to use it lawfully. However, it is possible that not many of you who read us do not comply with this (it is quite common) .

Not for nothing, we did not come to give you the badge, but to tell you about the interactions between USB YUMI and Windows and Windows and other Operating Systems .

If you want to install Windows / Format / Update to another version on a computer that is already Windows , you will not need YUMI USB . The same Operating System allows you to open .iso file with File Explorer, so you can run and launch Windows natively.

.iso file with a Windows OS

Inside the.iso files with Windows OSs we already have an executable file from where to start the installation / formatting. Thanks to this, we will not have the need to access the BIOS or restart the computer manually, since everything will be automatic.

On the other hand, if you want to install another Operating System on a Windows computer, you will need to use an application like this. Despite being able to open .iso images, Linux distributions have no executable files from which to begin installations.

For this reason, even from Windows we will need to restart the computer and enter the BIOS .

Final words on USB YUMI

As you may have noticed, it is a very useful program, although mainly for Linux-lovers . We can convert any memory unit into an installer of Linux (and Windows) distributions and in a very simple way.

For example, the one that is portable and the one that we can install the distributions from the same program is a hoot.

As if that were not enough, we have at all times the official website of pendrivelinux, the section of FAQs in case we have any questions and some recommendations for USB drives . Also, when we are in step 2 of selecting Operating Systems , we will always have the official page of each Linux distribution. Not only can we download the data from official sources, but we can also research and learn on their web pages.

In conclusion, we highly recommend using YUMI USB for any installation related to a Linux distribution. Its simplicity and effectiveness seem to us to a high degree enviable by many other softwares.

Regarding the article, we hope that you have understood it easily and that you have learned something new. If you have any memory recommendation, Operating System or Linux distribution, we encourage you to share it in the comments.
