Key Points:
- SD cards, though older and slower than newer storage options, can be repurposed as bootable drives by installing portable operating systems, allowing users to run different OS environments on any computer with an SD reader.
- Creating a bootable SD card is straightforward using tools like Rufus, which requires an ISO file, a spare SD card, and a compatible drive; Rufus can also download ISO files such as Windows 11 for easy installation.
- After writing the OS to the SD card, users can access their computer’s boot menu (commonly via the F2 key) to boot from the SD card, enabling tasks like troubleshooting, testing different Linux distros, or recovering a system without altering the main OS.
