There are many third-party tools on the market that support creating Windows 11/10 bootable USB drives, including Hasleo WinToUSB, Rufus, EaseUS OS2Go. Due to technical reasons, bootable USB drives created by some third-party tools (e.g., EaseUS OS2Go) can only use the first 32GB of the drive to support UEFI boot. Hasleo WinToUSB is the world's first tool that can use the full capacity of USB drives, and it perfectly supports UEFI. Below, we will detail how to create a Windows 11/10 bootable USB drive using Hasleo WinToUSB, which you can use to install Windows 11/10 on your computer.
