Requirements:

How to do it?

Step 1- Download kali iso from the official website kali.download. Currently, the latest version is https://kali.download/base-images/kali-2022.4/kali-linux-2022.4-installer-amd64.iso so I am downloading this file.

Step 2- Flash the iso image to the Pendrive. You need Rufus software to download the latest one from here. So now open Rufus and select the following option, as shown in the screenshot.

Step 3- After flashing the iso to the USB, next, we have to boot the kali installer from USB. Before doing that, you have to make at least 50GB free space partition to do go disk management and shrink your C drive.

Step 4- The mega step is to boot our kali installer from USB. To do this, we need to see our bios boot key to know that just a google hp boot key or a Lenovo boot key.

Here are some of the vendors.

HP - F9

Lenovo - F12 or (Fn+F12)

Dell - F12

Asus - F8
