Step 1: Download the Windows 11 ISO file
Step 2: Insert your USB storage drive into your Mac
Step 3: Use the diskutil command to identify which disk your USB drive is mounted on
- diskutil list
Step 4: Format your USB Drive to work with Windows

- diskutil eraseDisk MS-DOS "WIN11" GPT /dev/disk2 (It may be disk3 or disk4)
Step 5: Use hdiutil to mount the Windows 10 folder and prepare it for transfer
- hdiutil mount ~/Downloads/Win11.iso
Step 6: Copy the Windows 11 ISO over to your USB Drive
 - rsync -vha --exclude=sources/install.wim /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/* /Volumes/WIN11
 
 Then run this command to install Homebrew (if you don't have it installed on your Mac yet):

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
- brew install wimlib
mkdir /Volumes/WIN10/sources (if not exists)
- wimlib-imagex split /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/sources/install.wim /Volumes/WIN11/sources/install.swm 3800

Step 7: Put your USB into your new PC and start loading Windows
