Capabilities 🚀 :​

Creating a bootable USB drive from a .iso file or a directory

Modifying Windows 11 install image in order to avoid the hardware restrictions set by Microsoft

TPM 2.0

Secure Boot

Minimum Storage Capacity

Minimum RAM Capacity

and others…

Adding a UEFI-capable boot file for Windows 7 and Vista

Splitting large install.wim file to fit within the FAT32 file size limit

How to use 🤔 :​

Choose the Windows image file or directory.

Select the destination device where you want to write the image.

Select the FAT32 file system for the best compatibility with EFI firmwares.

If you want to install Windows on a device that does not have a TPM 2.0 chip and/or Secure Boot support, you must enable the “Patch Installer Requirements” option.

(This operation requires approximately 5.5 GB of free disk space on your macOS device.)

Click on the "Start" button

ㅤㅤ You will receive a pop-up alert when the operation is completed successfully. Otherwise, the program will report an error.
