Create Bootable Windows 11 USB Disk
When the computer is ready, you need a Windows system boot disk. I’ll do this on a MacOS.
Format USB Disk
Go to Application, find Utilities - Disk Utility; Choose your Disk, and erase the USB External Physical Volume to MS-DOS (FAT32); Rename the USB Drive to WIN11 or whatever you like.
Download System Image
Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO) to your computer;
Making a Boot Disk
- Install wimlib
brew install wimlib
- Mount the ISO file into a folder
hdiutil mount Downloads/Win11_23H2_English_x64v2.iso
- Copy all Windows ISO contents into the USB Disk
rsync -vha --exclude=sources/install.wim /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/* /Volumes/WIN11
- Split the installation file in two parts if the size is bigger than 4GB
wimlib-imagex split /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/sources/install.wim /Volumes/WIN11/sources/install.swm 3800
- Eject USB device to use it for OS installation.
