Steps to create bootable Windows installer from Mac/Linux

Grab latest install .iso file Rename the install.iso to install.img Wipe partition table of your USB using gparted (Linux) or Diskutil (Mac) Run this command, replacing the "if" and "of" path and disk path to the ones matching your system:

 sudo dd if=/path/to/install.img of=/dev/sda bs=1M

Reboot, and the USB should show up as a bootable device

Make a windows bootable usb install flash drive using an android phone (Thanks to π•½π–Šπ–”π–—π–π–Žπ–˜π–™ on discord for the guide)

You will need an OTG capable flash drive or use an OTG adapter with a regular USB Flash drive with at least 8gb storage.

STEP 1: Download Ventoy through the Play Store

STEP 2: Insert USB Flash Drive into Phone.

STEP 3: Go to your phone's storage settings and tap advanced.

STEP 4: Tap on the USB Flash Drive option.

STEP 4: Tap Format then tap Format USB drive. (!!This will DELETE ALL DATA on the USB flash drive!!)

STEP 5: Tap Done when the USB Flash Drive has finished formatting.

STEP 6: Open Ventoy app and tap OK to allow access to the USB Flash Drive. The name of the USB Flash Drive should be under USB Information at the top.

STEP 7: Tap Install then tap OK. This makes your USB Flash Drive Bootable as well as let's you select which OS you want to boot into if putting more than 1 OS on the USB Flash Drive.

STEP 8: Tap the overlapping rectangles on the toolbar then tap the + button and search for the .iso file you want to put onto the USB Flash Drive.

STEP 9: Tap on the .iso file to start copying it to your USB Flash Drive. (This will start as soon as you tap the file)

STEP 10: When Ventoy is finished copying the files over you can remove the USB Flash Drive. You now have a Bootable USB Flash Drive to install an Operating System on your PC!
