Rufus for Mac app for creating Windows 11 bootable USB on Mac?
I have some reservations about using Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows 11 bootable USB, especially when people often ask if there is a tool like "Rufus for Mac". In fact, although Boot Camp Assistant provides some functions for making bootable disks, it is not completely equivalent to Rufus.
The main problem when I tried to use Boot Camp Assistant was that it was not always stable or compatible. For example, it sometimes failed to recognize the USB device I inserted or had an error when downloading Windows support software. This experience made it feel like this tool was not designed to simply create a bootable disk. In addition, Boot Camp's support for Macs with M1 chips is even more limited, which further complicates the situation.
In short, while Boot Camp can be used in some cases, it cannot completely replace the functions of Rufus, especially when it comes to making Windows bootable disks. Therefore, for users who only have Mac devices and are looking for "Rufus for Mac", it may be necessary to explore other methods or tools to create a bootable USB for Windows 11.
