I am trying to create a windows 10 bootable USB with rufus for my new build that will have an Asus Z170-A motherboard. I want to install the operating system on a Samsung 850 EVO SSD and use a WD 1TB HDD for storage. I already have the Windows 10 ISO file downloaded, but I don't know what settings to select when creating the bootable USB:
1. Partition scheme and target system type:
a. MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI
b. MBR partition scheme for UEFI
c. GPT partition scheme for UEFI
2. File system:
a. FAT32 (Default)
b. NTFS
c. UDF
d. exFAT
3. Cluster size: the choices update based on what you select in #2. There are defaults and then various options that are higher and lower.
Believe it or not I have seen several different combinations in my research and i think it depends on the type of bios/uefi bios you have on your motherboard/when the guide was made/what version of windows (7/8/10 etc). I am new to pc building and couldn't figure it out from looking at the Asus z170a manual.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
