r/bootcamp on Reddit: Balena Etcher - Question about creating a bootable usb for Windows 11, using MacOs
August 21, 2024 -

Hello everyone. I have a macbook pro M1 Max and I'm going to build a PC rig to play games on the side in near future. I did a lot of research about how to create a bootable usb drive in order to install windows 11 on the freedos pc. The easiest solution I found was the Etcher iso flasher app. I followed the instructions on youtube and I believe I have successfully created a bootable drive...

However, I'm a little skeptical because the usb drive's file format turned out as "UDF" instead of "FAT32" (Please see the image l've attached). Do you guys think this will be a problem during the installation process, or would it even work at all?

Thanks you.

r/framework on Reddit: Creating Windows 11 Install USB on Mac
October 19, 2023 -

Will be receiving my AMD Framework 13 in the next week and will be transitioning from Mac

Unfortunately this means I only have a Mac to hand and need to create a windows 11 USB boot drive which seems overly convoluted.

My Mac is an Intel based Mac and I did try to use Boot Camp Assistant but it is trying to make me partition my hard drive before doing so which I do not have space to feasibly do so

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Unfortunately, UNetBootin might not work for Windows. I tried it recently to get an old computer working for a friend, and it turns out that Windows has some sort of new signing process that causes issues with third party tools creating Windows images. There are apparently some paid options that work for Mac OS, but if you need to make one for free, this guide shows you how to make one from the command line.
