I've recently switched to Linux Mint but I'm super frustrated trying to figure out how to create a bootable flash drive with a Windows 11 Pro ISO. Since I don't have a second hard drive to dual boot, I really need to get this right so I can run Windows applications without relying on Wine. Can anyone guide me through the process of writing an ISO to a USB stick?

You can actually create a bootable USB for Windows by dragging and dropping all the files from the ISO into a FAT32 partition on your USB stick. This works well with most standard ISO installers, including Windows. Just remember that UEFI is involved, so make sure your BIOS settings are correct too! Good luck!
I found this guide on itsfoss that seemed like it might work for creating a bootable Windows USB drive from Linux. I haven't tried it fully yet but check it out and see if it helps! Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for the tip! I tried the first method but it didn't work. I'm moving on to method 2 and will update you!
