    Can't make a UEFI image on the USB

    So, when I try to burn the iso image of kali 2.0, Rufus tells me that the .iso file is not uefi compatible, the only way is to make it LEGACY compatible.
    so I tried Universal Usb but it formatted the USB as fat32, which is not detectable by UEFI boot mode, so nothing shows up while booting and it boots straightly from the SSD,
    I have Fast and Secure boot were off as well,
    any help how I could burn the .iso on the USB as UEFI instead of LEGACY cuz I try to dual boot with windows 10 which is over UEFI, so I don't have to switch boot mode in the bios each time I swap OS?

    I do not believe it is possible to burn the ISO into a UEFI. You need to go into your BIOS menu and switch the booting option from UEFI to CSM.

    This should solve your issue.

    Have you tried to burn your ISO through your Mint terminal? Try this:

    Code:
    1.Plug in your USB device to your Linux computer’s USB port.
    
    2.Verify the device path of your USB storage with 
    dmesg


    Proceed to (carefully!) image the Kali ISO file on the USB device:

    Code:
    dd if=kali.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512k
    Hope this helps in any way.
