Why do you need a Windows 11 USB tool?

As a new member of the Windows family, Windows 11 has been released for almost a year. And after several updates, it has become more and more acceptable for getting rid of many glitches. Now, many users would like to have a try. Users can upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 if their PCs pass the requirements check and some may see an update note in the Settings.

However, some computers won’t get the upgrade note even though they are qualified. In this situation, a Windows 11 USB tool is quite helpful, and in fact, this is not the only spot that requires a Windows 11 bootable USB. You might need it for:

• Troubleshoot your PC • Perform update to a new version when Windows Update cannot work normally • Clean install Windows 11 on multiple PCs or reinstall OS • Run Windows 11 from the USB tool

Therefore, it’s necessary to prepare a Windows 11 USB tool in case of need.

How to make a Windows 11 USB tool?

For advanced users, it’s an easy job to create Windows 11 bootable USB. However, many users don’t know the details about this job, so here, we’ll show you how to make a Windows 11 USB tool in 2 cases.

Case 1. Create a Windows 11 installation media

If you want to make a Windows 11 USB tool for a clean installation, updating, and troubleshooting, you can choose to make a Windows 11 bootable USB with Windows 11 Installation media from Microsoft.

Step 1. Connect the USB flash drive to your PC, wait until it’s detected by the OS, and then, download the media creation tool from Microsoft.

Step 2. When the download is finished, click the exe. file to open it. In the new Window, select “Accept” after you make sure you agree to the license terms.

Step 3. Select “Create installation media for another PC”, and click “Next”.

Step 4. Select language, edition, and click “Next”.

Step 5. Choose the media you wish to use: USB flash drive or ISO file (for DVD users) and select the USB, then wait for the downloading.

Then you can use this USB to do a clean install and system update.

Case 2. Making a bootable Windows 11 USB

Another situation is that some users might need to directly run Windows 11 from removable devices like portable SSD, external HDD, or large USB drive. In this case, you’ll need a Windows to Go device.

Since Windows 11 has removed this feature, you need a third-party tool to create one. AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional can perfectly satisfy your requirements. It is a disk and partition manager for Windows 11/10/8/8.1/7/XP users to manage their Windows PC efficiently. The “Window To Go Creator” feature allows you to make a bootable Windows 11 USB and run it on another PC even a Mac.

▶ Preparations: 1. If you’re using a USB, it must be larger than 13GB and if it has important data, you’d better backup it because all data will be deleted. 2. If you need a new Windows 11, you may need to download Windows 11 ISO file.

Step 1. Insert the USB in and wait for your computer to detect it.

Step 2. Install and run AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional, click “Tools” and “Windows To Go Creator” on the top menu.

Step 3. Choose “Create Windows To Go” for your personal computer and click “Next”. If you want to use Windows 11 on a Mac computer, please click the second option.

Step 5. Select the USB drive as the target and click “Proceed”.

Step 6. You’ll receive the message that all data on this USB drive will be erased. Click “Yes” to continue. When all is finished, you can try your Windows 11 to Go USB on any computer. Don’t forget to enter BIOS to change the boot order to boot from it.

▶ Tip: AOMEI Partition Assistant can also help you install Windows 11 via directly migrating Windows 11 OS from one disk to another disk or cloning the whole disk from one to another. Both no need to reinstall the system.
