Rufus VS MediaCreationTool.bat

Use tools like Rufus (Windows) or dd (Linux/Mac) to create a bootable USB drive:

You're going to have to weigh the Chinese origins against what threats and risks you can or will not accept.

Personally, I don't and use stuff like Rufus[1] instead.

Use a tool like Rufus or UNetbootin to create a live USB stick.

Get Rufus

You can also use Rufus. It has options to customize Windows 11 and one of them is to disable the hardware module requirement.

To modify the ISO to turn off hardware check and TPM support for Windows 11 to install it on an unsupported PC.

Besides Linux and BSD Unix there is: https://reactos.org/ https://aros.sourceforge.io/ https://www.haiku-os.org/ and https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/

I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.

With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.

3. NVMe drives may not gracefully handle sudden disconnections, because USB connections are inherently unreliable interfaces prone to physical disruption and loss of power.

If your drive decides to stop showing up, first try loading up the boot device selection screen in the UEFI, and then insert the drive. It may take several seconds to show up. If trying that a few times doesn’t work, the drive may be stuck in a bad state, and might be recovered with the power cycle technique https://dfarq.homeip.net/fix-dead-ssd/

Always set up automatic backups if you actually have non-replaceable data on the drive. They can and will just suddenly die forever with loss of all data, just like thumb drives. You have been warned.

All that said, there are generally less issues if you are simply putting ventoy on it to install from a loaded iso.

I have a dual raid1 sata enclosure that I use to boot a windows to go install created with Rufus (https://github.com/pbatard/rufus), which makes testing and benchmarking so much nicer to deal with. I’ve even stuck games on it, and other than relative filesystem slowness it works pretty great.

The author has extensive documentation and tutorial content. First steps: download CD image, download Rufus (http://rufus.ie), write the image to the flash drive, remember that this will clear the data on the flash drive and it will not be recoverable.

Very long story short - the only way I was able to get it to work without BSOD was to install the latest Canary build of Win11. I used this tool: Offline Insider Enroll because I'm running a bootcamp partition on an intel macbook pro. I also needed to use this tool to bypass the TPM check because the macbook pro is not officially supported: Skip TPM Check on Dynamic Update.

I am a longtime Windows User and a big fan of it. Recently, I got the 2017 Intel Mac Pro, which can run Windows from the Mac Bootcamp. Using AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat I managed to get Windows 21H2 on the Macbook. However, a few updates later, and the Windows software is not updating to 22H2. I tried the requirement disabler from that same url, updating all my drivers, and restarting, to no effect. Hoping someone can help.

You can actually use mediacreationtool.bat and it can enable streamline updates like it is natively supported. Been running it alongside macOS on my Mid 2012 MBP and I often forget that it is an unsupported system.Mediacreationtool.bat Github Though since this is a 4th gen Intel system that OP has they can also just use the Microsoft official workaround. Installing Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements

What I did try before uploading this post, was to use the famous mediacreationtool script from aveyo, and the script seemed to work as Windows Update downloaded and installed the update, but after logging in I found that my build number was still the same.

Use this tool to upgrade 10 to 11: https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat

What I do is use https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat to acquire a legitimate iso of windows 10/11 enterprise, then use massgravels MAS(a reverse engineered windows activation script) to permanently activate windows.
