Windows To Go rufus: ISO Image Scan Failure

Hey y'all, Im trying to get Windows To Go on an SD card. I need Windows To Go, because I want to install Windows on a Steam Deck and it (windows, using the "Standard Windows installation") doesn't recognize the sdcard as a disk I could install windows on (but thats a rabbit hole on its own). For some reason, during the ISO burning, at around 20% it always gets stuck with the following error (from rufus log):





(just screenshotted what I thought was important)

The fixes I tried:

• Other rufus versions
  
• Other ISOs(From Windows 10-11)
  
• Changing the microSD adapter (several times)
  
• Rufus alternatives
  

Between the tries, of course, I deleted all of the partitions on the disk that got created, cleaned them and made a clean volume that has all of the space on the SD Card (I tried with various file systems, even volumeless). None of the before mentioned fixes seemed to work, so Im counting on you.

If you know other methods to install Windows on a Steam Deck (dualboot), then I'm happy to listen!

Have a blessed day, and thank you for you help!

Windows To Go rufus: ISO Image Scan Failure

I don't think Rufus can circumvent it.
