Use Rufus on Windows or KDE ISO Image Writer on Linux to write the reconstructed ISO to a USB drive.

Important: Writing the image erases the selected USB drive. Double-check the target before starting.

Restart your computer, open its boot menu, and select the USB drive. Choose the NoahOS boot option to start the live environment.
