You can use the free diskpart command to create Windows bootable USB on a PC. DiskPart is a powerful command-line disk partitioning utility built into Windows (available since Windows 2000). It allows users to manage disks, partitions, and volumes directly from the Command Prompt or PowerShell with administrative privileges.
First, format and the usb drive:
diskpart
list disk
select disk X
clean
create partition primary
format fs=fat32 quick
active
assign
exit
Then, apply the Windows image using dism:
dism /apply-image /imagefile:E:\sources\install.wim /index:1 /applydir:F:\
bcdboot F:\windows /s F: /f UEFI
(Replace E: and F: with your ISO and USB drive letters.)
For me, diskpart is the best bootable usb creator for Windows 11!
