I'm trying to figure out if I can install Windows 11 from my MacBook to a USB drive for a PC I'm building. I've attempted to set up Windows on the USB but it didn't work out, so I'm wondering if it's actually possible to do this and if anyone has tips on how to get it right.

You can definitely create a bootable Windows USB using your Mac! Just download the Windows ISO file. Some guides online might seem complicated, but you can keep it simple with the 'dd' command in Terminal. Just make sure to follow a clear tutorial for that command.
It really depends on the age of your Mac. If it's one of the newer models, installing Windows might be a bit tricky, since Apple has moved away from Bootcamp on M1 Macs. However, you might find it easier to work with Linux instead. Older Macs should handle Windows installs better though!
Thanks for the heads up! My Mac is around 10 years old, so hopefully I can still make it work.
