How can I fit a Windows 11 ISO onto a smaller USB drive?
Asked by

I'm trying to load a Windows 11 ISO onto my 7.5GB USB drive using Rufus, but the ISO file is around 7.9GB. Is there any way to shrink the ISO or any other solutions to get this working?

Honestly, the simplest solution is to just get a larger USB drive, like a 16GB or even 32GB one. They’re pretty cheap these days, and it’ll save you a lot of hassle.

Thumb drives are inexpensive nowadays! I've got a bunch of them for different tasks. Just grab a bigger one—it's a good investment if you're working with larger files.

If you're set on using your 7.5GB drive, consider checking if there are any tools to compress your ISO file, but I still recommend getting a larger drive for ease.
