Windows installer · Linux
Create a Windows 11 USB on Linux.
Create FAT32 installer media from a Windows ISO. Split oversized WIM files when needed.
Output
Bootable creates one FAT32 partition using GPT or MBR. The installer supports UEFI, not legacy BIOS.
If install.wim is too large for FAT32, Bootable splits it into install.swm parts.
Requirements
- A trusted Windows 11 ISO.
- An expendable USB drive large enough for the ISO contents.
wimtoolsfor oversized WIM payloads and CA 2023 boot files.- Administrator access for the write helper.
Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo apt install wimtools
curl -fsSL https://bootable.palash.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --guiThe USB drive will be erased. Confirm the physical drive before writing.
Create the installer
- Open Bootable and choose the Windows 11 ISO.
- Insert the USB drive and select it by model and capacity.
- Choose GPT or MBR and review any Windows setup options.
- Review the source, drive, partition scheme, operations, and erasure warning.
- Confirm erasure and start the write.
- Wait for the media check and safe-removal result.
The review shows every hardware, account, privacy, BitLocker, region, and policy option.
Media checks
Before erasure, Bootable checks the installer files and FAT32 limits. After copying, it checks the UEFI files, setup payload, and split WIM parts.
This does not guarantee that Windows Setup will finish.
