Once you're done on the boot menu, save your changes. How you do this depends on your BIOS or UEFI, but the instructions should be displayed right there on the screen or in a nearby tab. (If you're not sure whether you've saved your changes correctly, you can always reboot your computer and go back into the boot menu to check whether it still reflects your changes.) Once your BIOS or UEFI is configured the way you want it, reboot your computer. This time, don't press any special keys. Instead, let the BIOS or UEFI load and let your computer boot from your USB drive. If you're successful in this step, after a few seconds you'll be presented with the Qubes installer screen:

If the boot screen does not appear, there are several options to troubleshoot. First, try rebooting your computer. If it still loads your currently installed operating system or does not detect your installation medium, make sure the boot order is set up appropriately. The process to change the boot order varies depending on the currently installed system and the motherboard manufacturer. If **Windows 10** is installed on your machine, you may need to follow specific instructions to change the boot order. This may require an [advanced reboot](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026206/windows-10-find-safe-mode-and-other-startup-settings).

### Software
|

|

On the software selection tab, you can choose which software to install in Qubes OS. Two options are available:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Debian:** Select this option if you would like to use [Debian](/doc/templates/debian/) qubes in addition to the default Fedora qubes.
|
||||
* **Whonix:** Select this option if you would like to use [Whonix](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes) qubes. Whonix allows you to use [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) securely within Qubes.
|
||||
|
||||
Whonix lets you route some or all of your network traffic through Tor for greater privacy. Depending on your threat model, you may need to install Whonix templates right away.
|
||||
|
||||
Regardless of your choices on this screen, you will always be able to install these and other [templates](/doc/templates/) later. If you're short on disk space, you may wish to deselect these options.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Qubes OS comes preinstalled with the lightweight Xfce4 desktop environment. Other desktop environments will be available to you after the installation is completed, though they may not be officially supported (see [advanced topics](/doc/#advanced-topics)).

Installing an operating system onto a USB drive can be a convenient way to try Qubes. However, USB drives are typically much slower than internal SSDs. We recommend a very fast USB 3.0 drive for decent performance. Please note that a minimum storage of 32 GiB is required. If you want to install Qubes OS onto a USB drive, just select the USB device as the target installation device. Bear in mind that the installation process is likely to take longer than it would on an internal storage device.

By default, the installer will create a number of qubes (depending on the options you selected during the installation process). These are designed to give you a more ready-to-use environment from the get-go.

[](/attachment/doc/initial-setup-menu-configuration.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Let's briefly go over the options:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Create default system qubes:** These are the core components of the system, required for things like internet access.
|
||||
* **Templates Configuration:** Here you can decide which [templates](../templates/) you want to have installed, and which will be the default template.
|
||||
* **Create default system qubes:** These are the core components of the system, required for things like internet access. You can opt to have some created as [disposables](../glossary#disposable)
|
||||
* **Create default application qubes:** These are how you compartmentalize your digital life. There's nothing special about the ones the installer creates. They're just suggestions that apply to most people. If you decide you don't want them, you can always delete them later, and you can always create your own.
|
||||
* **Create Whonix Gateway and Workstation qubes:** If you want to use Whonix, you should select this option.
|
||||
* **Enabling system and template updates over the Tor anonymity network using Whonix:** If you select this option, then whenever you install or update software in dom0 or a template, the internet traffic will go through Tor.
|
||||
* **Create USB qube holding all USB controllers:** Just like the network qube for the network stack, the USB qube isolates the USB controllers.
|
||||
* **Use a qube to hold all USB controllers:** Just like the network qube for the network stack, the USB qube isolates the USB controllers.
|
||||
* **Use sys-net qube for both networking and USB devices:** You should select this option if you rely on a USB device for network access, such as a USB modem or a USB Wi-Fi adapter.
|
||||
* **Do not configure anything:** This is for very advanced users only. If you select this option, you'll have to set everything up manually afterward.
