Boot Win11 from USB

[edit]

Hello evreryone. I have downloaded the Windows utility disc on to a usb so i can boot another pc from it. Do i just copy the .exe file onto the flash drive or do I open it on the other machine 1st and then copy over the files? TIA! SN54129 14:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A bootable Windows even Windows installer is way more than a single exe. Are you sure the exe is not simply a tool to create a bootable USB or ISO? If it is then you need to run it on some computer first. Nil Einne (talk) 14:29, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
