For some reason, it is surprisingly hard to create a bootable Windows USB using macOS. These are my steps for doing so, which have worked for me in macOS Monterey (12.6.1) for Windows 10 and 11. After following these steps, you should have a bootable Windows USB drive.

1. Download a Windows disc image (i.e. ISO file)

You can download Windows 10 or Windows 11 directly from Microsoft.

2. Identify your USB drive

After plugging the drive to your machine, identify the name of the USB device using diskutil list, which should return an output like the one below. In my case, the correct disk name is disk2.

	#- tcp socket reuse to avoid the tcp socket already in use if popped often
	#- a cache directory to avoid a lot of files just being in the middle

	# use it by getting 'http://localhost:8000/www.kernel.org' to get http://www.kernel.org

	whitelist = [ "eth", "wlan", "en" ]

	names = `ip link sh`.scan(/^\d+: (.*):/).flatten.select do \|name\|
	whitelist.any? {\|pattern\| name.start_with?(pattern) }
	end
