How Can I Install Windows 11 24H2 on Any Computer?
For PCs that fully compatible with Windows 11 24H2, you can use the official free app (Windows 11 Media Creation Tool) to create a Windows 11 bootable USB and use it to install Windows 11 24H2 on any computer afterwards.
1. Make sure the capacity of the USB flash drive is ≥8GB (data will be emptied, please backup in advance). Visit Microsoft official website to download Media Creation Tool.
2. Right-click to start the program as administrator and accept the license terms. Select “Create installation media for another computer” and click “Next”.
3. Uncheck the “Use recommended options for this computer” box and manually select the language, version (e.g. Windows 11 Home/Professional) and architecture (64-bit). Select “USB flash drive” as the media type, the tool will automatically recognize the inserted USB flash drive.
4. After confirming that the USB flash drive is correct, click “Next”, the tool will automatically download the image and write it to the USB flash drive (it will take about 20-60 minutes, depending on the Internet speed and the performance of the USB flash drive). When it's done, the tool will prompt “Your USB flash drive is ready”, safely exit and restart your computer for testing.
Media Creation Tool is still the preferred solution for creating Windows 11 boot disks due to its official reliability, fully automated process and support for the latest images so you can install Windows 11 24H2 on any computer. If you encounter download interruptions or write failures, try changing the USB flash drive port, disabling antivirus software, or checking network stability. Once finished, the USB flash drive can be used directly for new device installation or system repair.
