After this close the command prompt as well. 

Now copy all the files of Windows 11 from the ISO to the USB drive to make it bootable. For that, double-click on the ISO image to mount it and then copy all the files to USB Drive.

Once the data copying process completes, you will remain with the bootable USB Drive of Windows 11.

Create Windows 11 Bootable UBS using Rufus

Download and install the Rufus software from the official website. Ensure you download the correct architecture (x64-bit or x32-bit). After doing so, run the software on your PC.

Now ensure you have Windows 11 ISO image ready with you. Also, insert the USB Drive into your PC.  

Now, under the Device option, select the USB flash drive which you want to make bootable.

Drive Selection

Click on the Select button right beside the Device selection, and then head over to the location where you have saved the file of Windows 11. Select the ISO file for installing Windows.

Next, Ensure that the Partition scheme is set to GPT, and Target System is set to UEFI. 

Now click on Start to start the process of creating a bootable USB. After you click on Start, you will get the data loss warning. Click on OK to continue with the process. 

Making Bootable Drive
