What is the difference between the media creation tool and Rufus?

I make a USB bootable drive with the original tool from Microsoft. What is the difference between the tool and Rufus?

The Features available on Rufus are different than the Default tool. Example it bypasses Microsoft account creation and bypass the TPM2 and secure boot.

Rufus is just awesome. I created my own boot disk with Rufus & it works like a charm.

Agree 100%. Rufus does a great job, is well documented and is updated regularly.

Rufus is great with many options (more or less usefull depending on your usage and the system you want to install), but a bit long I think. I would prefer using Ventoy since it would be a pain to have one ISO per USB or CD/DVD for me, but for a single OS installation or a single usage, and if you have time, Rufus is probably the best one.
