Frequently asked questions
What is the latest version of Rufus?
The latest stable version of Rufus listed on the official release page is 4.15, released June 30, 2026. Always confirm critical upgrades on the official Rufus release page before installing.
Which Rufus download should I choose?
Choose the official Rufus download that matches your operating system and CPU architecture. Apple Silicon Macs usually need ARM64 builds, Intel Macs need x86_64 builds, and most modern Windows PCs need 64-bit installers.
Is Rufus free to download?
Rufus provides official downloads from its project or vendor site. Check the official page for license details, paid plans, or platform-specific packaging notes.
Why does What-Version link to the official Rufus page?
Official system tool downloads reduce the risk of stale installers, bundled extras, and architecture mismatches. What-Version does not mirror installers.
