And that is it. That was the entire set up, you installed Debian OS and also set up the dual boot with Windows. The installation will finish and reboot automatically. Once the PC boots again, you need to have this bootloader screen first where it prompts which OS to boot, Windows or Debian. As of March 2018 Debian is available for Windows users through the Windows store as an app for the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). The app gives you a Debian stable command line environment running on the Windows kernel. Most of the packages in Debian stable should 'just work'. Once the download is complete, you are ready to make a Debian 10 bootable USB thumb drive. Making Debian 10 Bootable USB Thumb Drive on Windows: There are many programs that you can use on Windows to make a bootable USB thumb drive of Debian 10. The common ones are Rufus, Balena Etcher, Unetbootin etc. I use Rufus a lot.

Rich Turner on Installing Debian Linux 9 on Windows 10 with WSL.

I am running Windows 10 and am starting to learn how to boot from USB devices.

I have a 16GB USB (USB 3.0) drive and I want to do the following:

1. Make the 16GB USB drive run Debian Linux.
2. Keep Windows 10 on my C: drive.
3. Not partition my hard drive or set up a dual boot.
4. Run the OS from my USB drive.
5. Let all of my files and programs be saved to the USB (so I don't think that a live OS would be suitable). It should work as though it was a dual boot as in the way files are saved.
6. Make it work on any computer it is plugged in to (assuming the BIOS is compatible).

I already know how to boot from a USB in my BIOS but I am unsure as to where to get an ISO file and how to install it to the USB.

To create a bootable USB, you can follow the steps below:

STEP 1

Go to the website of the OS you wish to install, and find an iso image to download. In your case, since you want to run a Debian OS, here is a link to its iso options: https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst

Choose an iso image from the options, and click on it. This should automatically start the image download. While file is downloading, go to second step.

STEP 2

Get a utility program to format and create bootable USB flash drives. Some have already been suggested, so I will just link you to my favourite: https://rufus.akeo.ie/

Download the utility and go to third step.

STEP 3

By this stage, if your iso image has not yet finished downloading, then wait until it does.

Now that you have both the utility and the iso image downloaded:

1. Plug in your USB drive
2. Open Rufus (to write your USB)
3. Select the iso image you just downloaded to write on the USB, and fill out the other options accordingly (eg. selecting your USB drive etc)
4. Click on the option for starting the write process (with Rufus, it is the 'Start' button)

Once Rufus finishes, simply reboot, booting from your USB, which should start up your Debian OS.

we can easily make bootable Debain using rufus software from windows.

How to Create a USB Debian Live Flash Drive using Windows and the Ubuntu Win32 Disk Imager (Image Writer for Windows). In the following tutorial, we cover the process of installing Debian Live to a USB Flash Drive from Windows. Debian Live is a continuing project headed by Daniel Baumann, that offers (usb-hdd) Debian Images and ISO's of the Debian Live operating system with the Gnome, KDE, lxde or Xfce desktops.

In addition, for those running from a Linux environment, a custom Debian Live ISO or USB Image can easily be created using the Live-Helper scripts.

Note: This Debian Live installation method will format and create a 704MB fat partition on your Flash Drive. In Windows, your drive will appear to be only 704MB, because Windows does not detect the rest of the space which will be utilized for the ext2 persistent feature. Flash Drive restoration methods are linked at the end of this tutorial.

Minimum Flash Drive Capacity: 1GB

Persistent Feature: Yes

Installing Debian Live to USB using Windows

Warning: The contents on your Flash Drive will be wiped out. Backup anything you want to save before proceeding.

1. Insert a 2GB or larger Flash Drive (for Debian Live with Persistence)
2. Download a Debain-Live Gnome, Xfce, KDE or lxde img (and save it to your desktop)
3. Download the Win32 DiskImager (and extract its content to a folder on your desktop)
4. Navigate to where you extracted the contents of the Win32DiskImager and run Win32DiskImager.exe
   

   Note: you may notice a window saying: An error occurred when attempting to get the device information. Error 8: Simcity 1 download.

   – simply click OK to continue
   

5. (1) Browse to and select your Debian-Live .img file (2) Select your USB Device (3) Click Write to write the image to the device
6. A progress bar will indicate the progress of the write. Once it has finished, simply reboot your PC and set your BIOS or Boot Menu to boot from the USB Device

If all goes well, you should now be booting from your own Portable USB Debian Live Flash Drive.

How to make the Debian Live install Persistent:

The following information was suggested by Leong Yu Siang. After your up and running from your Debian Live created Flash Drive, do the following:

1. Navigate to System > Administration > Partition Editor
2. (1) Select your USB device from the drop down in the upper right corner (2) Right Click the Unallocated Space and select New
3. (1) Set the Filesystem to Ext2 (2) type live-rw for the label (3) Click Add
4. Once the process has finished, reboot your Debian Live system
5. At the splash boot screen, hit the Tab key
6. Add the word persistent to the string and then hit Enter

If all goes well, you should now be booting into your Debian Live with persistence. In order to save and restore any changes you make, you need to perform steps 5 and 6 during each boot.

Another option is to replace the live.cfg file in the syslinux directory on your Flash Drive with this (right click save as) live.cfg file which will add a default persistent boot option to the boot menu.
