Multi-bootable USB

Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
3. MemTest86+

Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

 

Create Windows 11 Bootable USB on Mac with M1 Chip

One thing to note. You need to check the USB drive is functioning well and make sure that Windows 11 iso file you downloaded is from Microsoft website. An damaged Windows ISO file could also cause the USB to not be recognized as a bootable device.



If there is no problem with USB and ISO file, then go with UUByte ISO Editor instead. The above suggestions are free so you can try them first. UUByte ISO Editor is a free trial software but you can get a Windows 11 bootable USB installer in less than 20 minutes. From my past experience, UUByte ISO Editor is even better than Bootcamp and UNetbootin. It has no limitations, just 3 clicks (download, launch and burn) to get a bootable USB drive on your Mac.

Create Windows 11 Bootable USB on Mac with M1 Chip

Hi Pattie Joe,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

The usual method to create a bootable Windows 11 USB on a Mac is to use Bootcamp, however that is not included on M1 Macs

Honestly, it is rarely successful creating Windows bootable USB's on a Mac, that usually results in a corrupt USB, the best option is to borrow a Windows device and create the Windows 11 USB on that, it is a far more reliable method and usually works first time.
