Create a Bootable USB Drive

Creating a bootable USB drive is an essential step in installing Debian on your PC. To create a bootable USB drive, you will need a USB drive with at least 4GB of storage, and the Debian ISO file. You can download the Debian ISO file from the Debian website. Once you have the ISO file, you can use a tool such as Etcher to create a bootable USB drive. Etcher is a free and open-source tool that makes it easy to create a bootable USB drive. To use Etcher, simply select the ISO file, select the USB drive, and click “Flash!”. Etcher will then create a bootable USB drive that you can use to install Debian on your PC.
