You will need:
• A laptop / PC
• A Pendrive with a minimum storage space of 8 GB
• Windows 10 or any other version of Windows pre-installed
• Kali Linux v2.0 which you can find here
• PowerISO which you can find here
Step-1
First, you need to download the latest version of Kali Linux from the official website. You can choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version depending on your computer. It is better to download the file with a capacity of more than 3 GB, which includes some pre-installed tools.
Step-2
After downloading Kali, we need to create a bootable USB drive by downloading PowerISO. The link is given above, you need to download and install it.
Step-3
Now, run the installed PowerISO as administrator.
In PowerISO, go to “Tools → Create Bootable USB Drive”
Step-4
Now select “Source Image File” and choose the location of the kali file you downloaded.
Step-5
In the Destination USB Drive tab select your USB drive/ Pendrive. In Write Method select ” Write RAW Image File to USB Drive“ . Finally press the “Start” button below and wait until the process is complete.
Step-6
The next step is to create a separate partition for the Kali Linux installation. To do this, open the Windows Disk Management settings or simply type the command “diskmgmt.msc” in Run.
Create a new partition of about 15 – 25GB minimum. If you choose to use Kali frequently, then it is preferable to create a partition with more than 50 GB of storage space. We created a new partition of 17 GB to show you.
Step-7
We are ready to proceed with all the initial procedures. Now restart your computer and enter the bios by pressing the F2 key or the Esc key depending on your computer model. Select “Boot as USB”. An image similar to the one below will appear, click on “Graphical install”.
Step-8
On the next page, select your preferred language.
Step-9
On this page, select your country and click to continue the installation process.
