Windows USB Flash Utility

[linux-aarhus]

@Aragorn

dd if=/path/to/iso

Have you actually had any success with that?

I ask because I never had any success writing Windows to USB using dd. I noted a long forgotten comment in the [root tip] [How To] Use Manjaro to create a bootable Windows USB thread

@LopezT

the problem is that newer windows iso’s only support ‘el torito’ mbr, which is only used for burning iso’s to a dvd or cd. For usage of a windows iso’s which is bootable from a usb drive you need an additional mbr. Linux distribution create hybrid mbr’s for years already, windows is neglecting it.

The only viable method I found, was to format the stick using exfat and copy the files from the mounted ISO to the stick.

The process was time consuming especially with USB 2.

The greatest breakthrough for LInux with relation to Windows ISO is ventoy.
