Win7 :MCT won't write Win11 to USB stick


@Megahertz : Thank you....done that now, and we'll see if it works when the build is done.
I have some back up solutions, just in case. One is to write the ISO to a dvd disk, as i bought a USB DVD-drive for the new system. Dunno why, really...I haven't used my DVD-drive in ages. Just need to get some dual-layer disks. Or, I can have my daughter create the media for me on her computer and ship it to me.
Thank you again for all your patience and help ! :giggle:

You can test if the USB drive boot on your current Win 7 computer.
On the new system you must boot the USB or DVD as UEFI.
