I’m diving into building my first PC (I know, a little backwards since I got a Steam Deck first), and I need some assistance in setting up Windows 11 on a bootable USB drive using my Steam Deck. I’m struggling to get the Media Creation Tool running, and tools like Rufus and Ventoy can’t seem to recognize my USB drive. Any tech-savvy folks out there who can guide me on how to get this done?

Honestly, if you can, just find a friend or family member who has a Windows PC to help you make the bootable USB. It’ll save you loads of hassle and time—much easier than wrestling with all these tools on the Steam Deck!
Just a heads up, you can actually grab the Windows 11 ISO directly from Microsoft’s site. You don’t necessarily need the Media Creation Tool for that. But yeah, you still need a way to write that ISO to the USB, which might be tricky on the Steam Deck.
Hey, if you’re looking for specific steps, try searching through some previous threads using your question on forums. There might be a few gems hidden away that could give you exactly the guidance you need. And if you do figure it out, please share your workaround so others can benefit from it!
