How can I create a bootable usb for Windows 11 25H2?
Read a couple of news about Windows 11 25H2 and could love to try it out on my HP laptop (running Windows 11 24H2). However, I didn't receive this update yet. For now, how can I create a bootable U...
After you made a Windows 11 25H2 bootable USB, the next step is to install it from the USB.
- Plug the bootable USB drive into the PC where you want to install Windows 11.
- Restart the PC and press the boot menu key (usually F12, Esc, F9, or Del depending on your motherboard).
- Choose your USB from the boot menu. The system should now load the Windows 11 installer.
- Select your language, time and currency format, and keyboard layout. Click Next, then Install Now.
- Choose the partition where you want to install Windows 11.
- Click Custom: Install Windows only (advanced) to perform a clean install.
- The installer will copy files and restart several times. Just let it finish.
Once setup is done, you'll boot into a fresh copy of Windows 11 25H2. Be sure to install drivers and Windows updates afterward. If you're on unsupported hardware, and bypassed TPM/Secure Boot, some updates may not work unless patched.
