Oh, I didnā€™t know that, avoid etcher then lol

Edit : there is Popsicle and Suse Image Writer or Ventoy

I think youā€™ll be okay with etcher. If you donā€™t want to keep it after just uninstall it. I just install etcher-bin from the aur.

Edit: Is there any reason you canā€™t use popsicle to create a Windows ISO?

Why not simply dd?

I use popsicle now. I just wasnā€™t sure if Windows ISO are a problem or not. I usually create them on Windows.

Yea not sure IF popsicle would have issues with windows 10 or not, canā€™t hurt to try.

Iā€™m guessing thats possible, i like really simple though lol.

You should be able to save the Windows iso from their site . . . and use the dd command.

edit: SHOULD itā€™s been a long time since Iā€™ve tried but Iā€™m like 90% sure this was how I did it the last time.

Are getting ready to get Windows 11 on October 5? :thinking:

Thats the ā€œOfficialā€ release date?

Its for my daughters new pc, i use strictly linux. :grin:

Soā€¦most of the tools being mentioned in this topic canā€™t successfully make a bootable WIndows ISO. The reason is that Windows ISOs need more than simply being written to the media.

You canā€™t use dd without a lot of manual work. I am fairly certain that Etcher canā€™t burn a windows iso either. I had read that popsicle could make a Windows ISO but I never got it to work.

I think using woeusb is a good option. I also think that ventoy can boot a Windows ISO.

This would without doubt be the easiest then. Ventoy is very easy to try.

Woe USB works but can take a very long time.

Ventoy also works and does not take a very long time

I vote for Ventoy
