Если вам по той или иной причине потребовалась загрузочная флешка Windows 10 (или другой версии ОС), при этом на имеющемся компьютере в наличии только Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, другие дистрибутивы), вы сравнительно легко можете записать её.
В этой инструкции пошагово о двух способах создать загрузочную флешку Windows 10 из Linux, которые подойдут как для установки на UEFI-системе, так и для того, чтобы установить ОС в Legacy режиме. Также могут пригодиться материалы: Лучшие программы для создания загрузочной флешки, Загрузочная флешка Windows 10.
Загрузочная флешка Windows 10 с помощью WoeUSB
Первый способ создания загрузочной флешки Windows 10 в Linux — использование бесплатной программы WoeUSB. Созданный с её помощью накопитель работает и в UEFI и в Legacy режиме.
Для установки программы используйте следующие команды в терминале
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt update sudo apt install woeusb
Если эти команды не сработали, попробуйте такой вариант:
wget mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wxwidgets3.0/libwxgtk3.0-0v5_3.0.4+dfsg-3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libwxgtk*_amd64.deb sudo apt update sudo apt --fix-broken install sudo apt install woeusb
После установки порядок действий будет следующим:
- Запустите программу.
- Выберите ISO образ диска в разделе «From a disk image» (также, при желании, можно сделать загрузочную флешку с оптического диска или смонтированного образа).
- В разделе «Target device» укажите флешку, на которую будет записан образ (данные с неё будут удалены).
- Нажмите кнопку Install и дождитесь завершения записи загрузочной флешки.
- При появлении ошибки с кодом 256 «Source media is currently mounted», размонтируйте образ ISO с Windows 10.
- При ошибке «Target device is currently busy», размонтируйте и отключите флешку, затем снова подключите её, обычно помогает. Если не сработало, попробуйте предварительно отформатировать её.
На этом процесс записи завершен, можно использовать созданный USB накопитель для установки системы.
Создание загрузочной флешки Windows 10 в Linux без программ
Этот способ, пожалуй, ещё проще, но подойдет только в том случае, если вы планируете загружаться с созданного накопителя на UEFI-системе и устанавливать Windows 10 на GPT диск.
- Отформатируйте флешку в FAT32, например, в приложении «Диски» в Ubuntu.
- Смонтируйте образ ISO с Windows 10 и просто скопируйте всё его содержимое на отформатированную флешку.
Загрузочная флешка Windows 10 для UEFI готова и с неё можно без проблем загрузиться в EFI-режиме.
We have previously looked at how you can create a bootable USB drive of various Linux distributions from a Windows PC. Some of these posts include Creating a Linux Mint Live USB drive on Windows and create a bootable Ubuntu Live USB drive on Windows using tools like Rufus and PowerISO. This post will do the reverse – How to create Windows 10 USB installation Drive in Linux.
Requirements
- Windows 10 ISO file
- A USB drive (at least 8GB)
- Root privileges
- An active internet connection to download some of the tools
Creating Windows 10 USB installation Drive in Linux
To get started, download the Windows 10 ISO file from their official website. Earlier versions were around 4GB in size, but I saw the latest version is nearly 5.7GB. That’s why I recommend you have a USB drive with at least 8GB of space. However, if you are using an earlier Windows ISO version (maybe Windows 10 2015), which is about 3.6GB, a 4GB-USB Drive would be okay.
Download Windows 10
Format the USB Drive
Even though we will look at various methods you can use to make the USB drive bootable, always ensure your USB is formatted with the right file format. We will use the disk utility that comes pre-installed with most Linux distribution and Gparted. Note: GParted is not pre-installed in most Linux distribution, but it’s one of the best tools to manage and partitions your disks. Our post on How to safely create or resize partitions in Linux using GParted can give you a little more insight into this fantastic tool.
Format USB with Disks Utility
Step 1. Insert/Plug your USB drive and launch the Disks utility from the applications menu.
Launch Disks
Step 2. The Disk Utility window will open, listing all the available Hard drives and USB drives connected to your PC. Select your USB drive. From the image below, you can see I have my 8GB USB drive selected.
Disk Utility
Step 3. With your USB selected, click on the Settings button (represented with a gear icon). A menu will pop-up with several options. Select the first option, which is ‘Format.’
Open Settings
Step 4. A window will pop-up listing several options. Enter the Volume Name (can be any) and select the file format you want to use.
Note: If your Windows ISO file is less than 4GB, you can select the FAT option. However, if it’s bigger than that, use the NTFS option as I have done on the image below. That is because the FAT file system only supports a maximum file size of 4GB; for any file more extensive than 4GB, use exFAT or NTFS. Click Next when done.
Format USB
Step 5. You will see a warning – “all data on the volume will be lost.” You can also see the configurations below. Click on Format to finalize the process.
Confirm and Format USB
Once the format process complete, you can now create a bootable USB drive of Windows.
Format USB with GParted
Gparted is a free Disk manager utility available for most Linux distributions. It creates, resize, and move partitions, format and also create partition tables.
To install Gparted, execute any of the commands below depending on your distribution.
-
Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install gparted
-
Fedora
su -c "yum install gparted"
-
Mageia
sudo urpmi gparted
-
OpenSUSE
sudo zypper install gparted
Once you have successfully installed GParted, proceed to launch it from the applications menu or execute the command GParted on the Terminal. Note: GParted requires root privileges. You will, therefore, be required to enter your Root password.
Launch GParted
Select your USB drive from the drop-down menu at the top-left corner.
Select USB drive
Right-click on your USB drive and select the Format option. Use the NTFS file system. If you don’t see these options (or they are greyed out), you might need to unmount your USB drive first. You will see the unmount option when you right-click on the USB.
Once done, click on the Green tick at the top to apply the changes.
Apply Changes
Let’s now look at the various methods you can use to create a bootable USB drive of Windows on Linux.
1. Create a bootable Windows USB with Disk Image Mounter
Step 1. Launch the File Manager and navigate to the directory containing your Windows ISO file. Right-click on it and select the option “Open with Disk Image Mounter.”
Disk Image Mounter
Step 2. The Windows ISO file will be mounted as a drive, and you can find it on the left side of the file manager. For some, you might need to click on “Other Locations” to see the mounted Windows ISO.
Mount Windows ISO
Step 3. Click on the mounted Windows ISO and copy all the contents to the USB drive. You can use the shortcuts Ctrl + A to select everything, Ctrl + C to copy, and Ctrl + V to paste the files to the USB drive.
Copy Files to USB
Now, wait for the process to complete. Once done, you can proceed to eject your PC from the file manager. Do this by right-clicking on the drive and clicking the eject option. You might get an error like “Do not unplug the drive until the write process has finished.” Please wait for a while until you see the notification, “can be safely removed.”
Eject USB Drive
Note: From my experience working with Linux systems, never remove/unplug your USB drive from your PC without ejecting it from the file manager first. That’s especially when copying files. Even though it might show a “tick,” which means the copying process is complete, that might not be the case, and you will lose data if you forcefully unplug it without ejecting it.
If you did everything correctly, you now have a bootable USB drive of Windows 10. You can proceed to use it to boot up your PC and install Windows 10.
2. Create a bootable Windows USB with WoeUSB
WoeUSB is a Linux tool used to create a bootable USB drive for Windows. The tool is available in two formats. The woeusb program runs on the command-line and the woeusbgui, which presents a graphical interface. WoeUSb is free, and the source code is available on GitHub.
Install WoeUSb
Below are the installation procedure and commands for various Linux distributions.
-
Ubuntu/Debian
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt update sudo apt install woeusb
Alternatively, you can download the DEB file from the link below;
Download WoeUSB DEB
Note: If you get an error like “woeusb : Depends: libwxgtk3.0-0v5 (>= 3.0.4+dfsg), but it is not installable – E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages” while executing the commands above, download and install the libwxgtk package from this link. Once done, try installing WoeUSB again.
Broken package error
-
Fedora
To install WoeUSb on Fedora, we will use the Snap package format. Execute the commands below:
sudo dnf install snapd sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap sudo snap install woe-usb --edge
-
Linux Mint
use the commands below:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt update sudo apt install woeusb
-
Elementary OS
Like Fedora, use the snap package manager to install WoeUSb on Elementary OS:
sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd sudo snap install woe-usb --edge
If you are using any other Linux distribution that is not mentioned above, use Snap to install WoeUSb. Now, let’s proceed and see how you can create a bootable USB drive of Windows in Linux systems.
Step 1. Format the USB drive. Use any of the methods described above.
Step 2. Once you have successfully installed WoeUSB, launch it from the applications menu.
Launch WoeUSB
The main WoeUSB window will open. It contains three main sections. The Source section is where you will select the Windows ISO file you want to use. In the File system section, select the file system format you want to use – whether FAT or NTFS. The final section is the Target device. Here, you will need to select the destination USB drive that you want to make bootable.
WoeUSB main window
Step 3. After you have selected the ISO file, chosen the file system format to use, and the destination USB drive, click on the Install button at the bottom right. WoeUSB will start copying the files to the destination USB drive.
WoeUSB
Note: It might take some time to make the USB drive bootable (up to 15 minutes). You might see the “Done” notification but don’t eject the USB drive until you see an “Installation Success” pop-up window.
Installation Success
Step 4. Click OK and close the WoeUSb window. You can now eject the USB drive from the file manager and use it to boot and install Windows.
3. Create a bootable Windows USB with UNebootin
UNetbootin is a cross-platform utility used to create a bootable USB drive. Unlike WoeUSb, which supports only Windows ISO files, UNetbootin can also create bootable USB drives of Linux files. One additional exciting feature with the UNetbootin is it is available as a bin file. Therefore, you are only required to make it executable and run it. You don’t need to install it.
Step 1. Download UNetbootin bin file.
To download the 64bit file of UNetbootin, execute the command below.
wget https://github.com/unetbootin/unetbootin/releases/download/675/unetbootin-linux64-675.bin
To download the 32bit file of UNetbootin, execute the command below:
wget https://github.com/unetbootin/unetbootin/releases/download/675/unetbootin-linux-675.bin
In my case, I will download the 64bit file.
UNetbootin 64bit
Step 2. Make the UNetbootin bin file executable with the command below
chmod +x unetbootin-linux64-675.bin
Make the file executable
Step 3. Once done, you can proceed to run the bin file. Execute the command below to run UNetbootin as root.
sudo QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 /home/tuts/Downloads/Programs/unetbootin-linux64-675.bin
Please note, you might need to change the path to point to the directory containing the Windows ISO file.
Launch UNetbootin
The UNetbootin main window will open.
UNetbootin Main Window
Step 4. There are two main sections – Distribution and Diskimage. Select the Diskimage area and choose the path of the Windows ISO file. Just below that, select Disk Type and the USB drive. Once done, Click OK.
UNetbootin
Step 5. UNetbootin will start making the USB drive bootable. You can follow what’s happening on the UNetbootin window. You can track the overall progress at the bottom of the window in the progress bar.
UNetbootin Booting process
Step 6. Once done, you will see the Complete Installation message. Click on the Exit button that appears.
UNetbootin Finish window
You can now eject the USB from the file manager and use it to boot and install Windows.
Conclusion
That’s our complete guide on how you can create a bootable USB drive of Windows on Linux systems. Out of the three methods discussed above, I would highly recommend the Disk Image Mounter method. Do you have another way that you use to create a bootable USB drive of Windows on Linux? Please, share with our readers in the comments below. If you come across any errors executing the commands above, feel free to hit the comments.

I have talked a lot about creating bootable USB of Linux in Windows. How about the other way around? How about creating a bootable Windows 10 USB in Linux?
If you are uninstalling Linux from dual boot or if you want to reinstall Windows completely or you simply want to have a Windows installation disk ready, you’ll need a bootable Windows 10 USB or DVD.
In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to create a Windows 10 bootable USB in Linux.
There are two ways to do that and I have discussed both in this tutorial.
- The first method is mounting the ISO image of Windows to a USB disk formatted in ExFAT system. This works most of the time but there could be instances where it wouldn’t boot.
- The second method is to use a tool like Ventoy. It creates a UEFI compatible bootable disk.
📋
I am using Ubuntu for this tutorial but the steps should be valid for other Linux distributions as well.
Creating a Bootable Windows 10 USB in Linux
Prerequisite: Get Microsoft Windows 10 ISO and a USB of at least 8 GB in size
You can download Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft’s website. You have to specify the Windows 10 version, language and then you should see the link to download Windows 10.
Note that the Windows 10 ISO download link is valid for 24 hours only. So use a download manager in Linux to download the ~5-6 GB file and finish it within 24 hours.
Since the ISO and its content are more than 4 GB in size, I recommend a USB of at least 8 GB in size.
I have also made a video of this tutorial so that you can see the steps in action.
Step 2: Properly format the USB for creating bootable Windows USB
Insert your USB. You have to format it so make sure that you don’t have important data on the USB key.
In Ubuntu, press Super key (Windows key) and search for ‘Disks’. You have to use this tool to format the USB key.
In the Disks tool, make sure to select your USB drive and hit format.
It will ask to choose a partitioning scheme. It could be either MBR or GPT. Select one of them and hit Format.
It will show you a warning that you data will be erased.
The formatting of USB is not over yet. Now, you need to create a partition on the newly formatted USB.
Select the entire USB disk as the partition size.
Give a name to your USB and then go to the Other option in the Type of disk. It’s because you have to format the USB in exFAT filesystem.
Here, choose exFAT as the filesystem type. The exFAT file system will you to copy files larger than 4 GB.
Once done, your USB should be automatically mounted. It is now ready for creating a bootable Windows 10 USB disk.
Step 3: Copy the content of the ISO to USB
Now, it’s time to copy the content of the Windows 10 ISO to the newly formatted USB.
You may ask, Abhishek, there is only one file, which is the ISO file itself. What are you talking about?
ISO is basically an archive format and you can see its content like any zip file in Linux. But to do that, you need to use ‘Disk Image Mounter’ tool that is installed by default in Ubuntu.
Go to your Windows 10 ISO, select it and right click on it. Now select ‘Open with other application’.
In the applications list, select Disk Image Mounter:
The ISO will be mounted. You may not see it in the left sidebar but if you click on the Other Locations, you should see it. Click on it to enter this mounted ISO folder.
You’ll see its content. All you need to do is select all the files (Ctrl+A), copy it (Ctrl+C) and paste them in the USB drive (Ctrl+V).
Wait for the copying process to finish as it may take some time in copying 4-5 GB of data. Once it’s done, you have a bootable Windows 10 USB in your hand.
Unmount the USB and use it with any system you want, restart the system and change the boot settings to boot from the USB.

Some readers find that this method is not working well. No worries. You can use Ventoy for your Windows USB.
Method 2: Create bootable Windows 10 USB using Ventoy
Ventoy is an open source tool for making live USBs. You can use it to create a multi-boot USB, persistent Linux live USB and bootable Windows USB.
I find Ventoy an unorthodox tool. It is slightly tricky to use and this is the reason I am writing this step-by-step tutorial.
Step 1: Prepare your USB drive
Ventoy formats the USB disk while creating the bootable disk. However, I noticed it failed to do so for an already bootable Linux disk. For this reason, I advise you to format the USB disk before you proceed further.
Plug in and then format the USB disk. You can do that by right-clicking on the mounted disk and then selecting the format option.
It doesn’t matter which filesystem you choose during formatting. It will be formatted again by Ventoy in the later steps.
💡
Some readers suggested using the NTFS file system gave them better result.
Once it is formatted, keep it plugged in and go on to the next step of installing Ventoy.
Step 2: Download and install Ventoy on Linux
Ventoy is a mix of GUI and CLI tool. It can be used on any Linux distribution. Download Ventoy for Linux from the release page of its GitHub repository.
You’ll find the .tar.gz file with Linux in its name. This is the file you should download.
Once downloaded, extract the tar gz file. Simply right click on it and extract it.
Go inside the extracted folder, and you’ll find a few scripts in it. You need to run one named VentoyWeb.sh. To do that, you’ll have to use the command line.
Now if you are familiar with Linux command line, I presume that you can easily find your way to the file by using the cd command.
Alternatively, you can use the “open in terminal” feature of the file manager to open the location in a terminal.
Once you are in the correct directory in the terminal, use the following command to run Ventoy:
sudo ./VentoyWeb.shVentoy runs inside a browser. It will give you the URL when you run it. Copy this URL and paste it in a browser.
It will open a web page with Ventoy running in it and if the USB is already plugged in, it should recognize it. If not, press the refresh button.
Step 3: Use Ventoy to create bootable Windows 10 USB disk
Though Ventoy has the option to create a bootable disk with secure boot, it is experimental and may not work.
Considering you are going for a UEFI installation, it will be wise use GPT for partitioning scheme.
Once things are set, hit the install button. It will show you a couple of obligatory warnings. If the installation completes successfully, you should see a success message.
Note: If you do not see Ventoy disk mounted after the successful installation, please plug out the USB and then plug it in again.
When you hit the install button, it creates two partitions on the USB disk.
- VTOYEFI: A small partition for the UEFI files.
- Ventoy: A big, empty partition in ExFAT format where you’ll copy the ISO image.
Yes. That’s what you need to do. Copy the ISO image of the Windows 10 into the bigger ExFAT partition on the USB disk.
Once the copying finishes, DO NOT RUSH to plug out the USB just yet. Click on the unmount option from the file manager. Chances are that some files are still being written and it may show an error message.
Wait for a few more minutes and you should see a message that it is safe to remove the disk. Now you can unplug it and use it on whichever system you want.
Step 4: Using the bootable Windows 10 disk
Alright! You are almost there. Plug in your bootable Windows USB you created in the previous section. Start the computer and go to the BIOS setting by using the F2/F10 or F12 key at the time you see the logo of your computer’s manufacturer.
In here, look for the secure boot settings and disable it. If the secure boot is enabled, chances are that your system won’t allow you to boot from the USB disk (to secure your system and data at boot time).
After disabling the secure boot, go into the boot order and then choose the UEFI USB Disk to boot from. Some systems will give this option after you press F12 or F10 button.
It takes a couple of minutes to start the Windows disk. You should see a screen like this and it will give you the option to repair boot or install Windows.
I think you can take things from here. Enjoy it 
There is another popular tool WoeUSB that can also be used for this purpose.
Step 4: Using Windows 10 bootable USB
Once the bootable USB is ready, restart your system. At boot time, press F2 or F10 or F12 repeatedly to go to the boot settings. In here, select to boot from USB.
You’ll see that Windows 10 is being booted and it gives you the option to install or repair your system. You know what to do now from here.
I hope you find this tutorial useful for creating bootable USB of Windows 10 in Linux. If you have questions or suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment.
Do you use Linux and find yourself needing to create a Windows 10 bootable USB but don’t know how? If so, this guide is for you. Follow along as we go over how to create a Windows 10 bootable USB on Linux.
Note: The Windows 10 ISO file is enormous in size. For this reason, we highly suggest using a USB flash drive no smaller than 8 GB in size.
Download Windows 10 to your Linux PC
Before creating a Windows 10 bootable USB on Linux, we must go over how to download Windows 10 on a Linux PC. Thankfully, Microsoft makes Windows 10 available to all users free of charge (though the software license isn’t free, and you’ll need to buy it to get the most out of it.)
To get your hands on the latest Windows 10 ISO, start by heading over to the Microsoft Windows 10 download page. Once you’ve made it to the Windows 10 download page, scroll down to the “Select edition” section. Here, you’ll need to select the edition of Windows 10 you’d like.
Once you’ve selected the edition of Windows 10 you desire, locate the “Confirm” button and click on it with the mouse. When you’ve clicked on the “Confirm” button, you will see “Select the product language” appear. From here, choose the language that you speak in the menu, and click on “Confirm” to continue.
After confirming your language, the Microsoft Windows 10 website will generate both 32-bit and 64-bit download links. At this point, go through the download options and download the ISO file of Windows 10 that works best for you.
When the Windows 10 ISO file is done downloading to your Linux PC, plug in your USB flash drive to the USB port. Please keep in mind that the Windows 10 ISO file is very large, so you will likely need a big USB flash drive. For best results, use one with 8 GB or higher.
Format your USB flash drive for Windows 10
Your USB flash drive must be formatted to handle Windows 10. Thanks to Windows 10 using UEFI, we do not need to fiddle with any complicated Windows formatting apps. Instead, you’ll just need to format your USB flash drive in Fat32.
There are many different ways to format USB flash drives in Fat32. In this guide, we’ll focus on the Gparted filesystem editor. Why? It’s very easy to use, has a GUI, and is compatible with most Linux OSes.
To start formatting, you will need to install Gparted. To install Gparted, open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on the keyboard. Then, enter the commands below.
Note: for a more in-depth guide on how to get Gparted working on your Linux PC, please follow this guide on the subject.
Ubuntu
sudo apt install gparted
Debian
sudo apt-get install gparted
Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S gparted
Fedora
sudo dnf install gparted
OpenSUSE
sudo zypper install gparted
After installing Gparted, open it up by searching for “Gparted” in the app menu. Once Gparted is open, find the device menu on the top-right and click on it. Then, use the menu to select your flash drive.
Can’t find your flash drive in Gparted? Remember the size of the device (in GB) while looking through the menu, and you’ll be able to find it.
When you’ve located your USB flash drive in Gparted, select all partitions displayed in the partition layout and press the Delete button to remove them all. Alternatively, right-click all partitions and select “Delete.”
After all partitions are deleted, you should see “Unallocated.” Right-click on the “Unallocated” space and select “New.” Once you’ve selected “New,” look for “File system,” and select “Fat32.”
After selecting the file system, click on the “Add” button to add the new partition to your USB. Then, click the “Apply” button to apply the changes.
With your USB flash drive formatted, the Windows 10 bootable USB can be created. To start the process, open up a terminal window on the desktop. You can open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on the keyboard.
Once the terminal window is open, use the mount command to mount the Windows 10 ISO file as a filesystem in the /mnt/ folder on your Linux PC.
sudo mount -o loop ~/Downloads/Win10*.iso /mnt/
After mounting the Windows 10 ISO file in the terminal, open up the Linux file manager. Inside of the file manager, navigate to /mnt/. Then copy every file and folder in the /mnt/ folder to your USB flash drive.
When all files are copied to the USB flash drive, unmount it from your PC. Once the USB flash drive is unmounted, you’ll have created your Windows 10 bootable USB!
Hello everyone. In this article, I am going to show you how to create a Windows 11 bootable USB on Ubuntu using the GParted project.
Updating Your System
Before we begin, if you’re using Ubuntu, it’s a good practice to update your system. I will show you how to create a Windows 10 or 11 bootable USB in Ubuntu. You can start by updating your system by typing “sudo apt update” in Terminal. If there are any packages that need to be upgraded, you can upgrade them by typing “sudo apt update“.
Downloading the Windows 10/11 ISO
So, the first step is to download the Windows 11 ISO image. Open your favorite browser or simply use the default browser that comes with Ubuntu. Simply search for “download Windows 11 ISO” and you’ll get the Windows 11 ISO image from Microsoft’s official website.
After that, you have to select the Windows 11 ISO image edition and click Download.
Choose a language and click Confirm.
Then click 64-bit Download and save it. It will save the file to your computer.
Now, I’m going to insert it because I already have it. If I have to show you, it’s in the Downloads directory, which I have simply imported from my main PC. The size is around 4 GB.
Preparing the USB Flash Drive
The second step is to attach the USB flash drive to your computer. I’ve already done that, so there’s no need for me to attach it.
The third step is to install GParted onto your computer.
You can use the Ubuntu Software or the Terminal. I prefer the terminal because it’s faster. Once it’s launched, simply type “sudo apt install gparted“.
The next step is to launch GParted, typing “sudo gparted” in Terminal.
You can also launch GParted from Launchpad. Just simply search for GParted and launch it.
Once it’s launched, select the USB flash drive.
Partitioning the USB Flash Drive
By default, you can see that it’s a bootable USB flash drive of Windows 11.
For now, I have to delete all of them and then I’ll show you how to create them again from the beginning.
Let me delete it first. You have to unmount it, then delete it. Sorry for that. Now delete.
Okay, it is deleted.
Now click Apply.
Once it’s removed, we need to create a partition for it. Go to Device and click Create partition table.
From here, select a partition style for Windows. We are going to choose gpt. Click Apply.
Remember, it’s going to remove everything from your USB flash drive, so back up your files.
Formatting and Copying Files
The next step is to create a file system for it.
By default, Linux personal file system is ext4. Windows is using NTFS. We’re going to choose NTFS. We can also label the USB flash drive. I’m going to name it “Windows 111“. Click Add.
Now you can see that it’s done, but the changes have not applied. Click Apply and wait for it.
Once it’s done, you can close it.
The next step is to open files and go to the Downloads folder where Windows 11 is located. Right-click on it and choose Open With Disk Image Mounter.
Finalizing the Bootable USB
Here you can see that Windows 11 is mounted. Right-click, copy, and now go to the USB flash drive and paste them here.
During the copy of the files, you will not face any type of error. If you face any type of error, it means the Windows 11 ISO that you downloaded from the internet has been corrupted. Maybe the speed of your internet connection was not fast and somehow it got corrupted.
So basically, this is how you can create a Windows 11 bootable USB. For now, I am going to wait until the files are copied from the ISO inside the USB flash drive.
