You can definitely proceed as if you were installing Windows on a PC. Creating a bootable USB is similar to preparing an installation media for a computer. You’ll need a USB drive, the Windows ISO file, and possibly a tool like Rufus or Windows Installer. If you’re comfortable with commands, you can use the terminal to format the drive and write the ISO. Just follow the steps carefully and double-check everything before booting up.

The Mac edition is only available on a Mac computer... a Windows system is required for the other version.

Creating bootable Windows USBs can be challenging without native support. You might explore running a virtual machine on your Mac and then transfer the bootable drive through it. WoeUSB is an option, though a Mac-specific version isn't available.

Others have achieved results by extracting the ISO and creating a USB installer with Bootcamp Assistant, though I've also encountered instances where it failed on a PC afterward.

Set up a virtual machine and obtain the installation file. Once completed, remove the VM if you no longer need it. This seems to be the simplest method compared to using Bootcamp.

At least the etcher confirms it will function. You can obtain the ISO from the MS website. With that, and since you're able to run this on Linux, I'm struggling to grasp if Apple is trying to block it, while still offering a bootcamp choice for installing Windows.

It’s not easy to convert a Windows USB to a Mac setup directly. Luckily, if you have a motherboard that supports booting from an EXFAFT USB, simply transfer the Windows ISO files into the root folder of your USB drive (ensure it’s formatted correctly). Otherwise, using VirtualBox can help you run a Windows VM on your Mac.

The system no longer blocks flashing Windows ISOs for bootloader purposes.

Use a VMware setup or similar software on your Mac, then link your USB drive to the virtual machine and launch the Windows installation utility inside it.

I don't support Bootcamp even though it promises this, but sometimes it fails to function properly. The bootable USB may not install on the device. If you're comfortable with command-line tools, you can generate a Windows 10 bootable USB for Mac using a virtual machine. Refer to this guide: https://www.uubyte.com/create-bootable-u...s-iso.html For the ISO, it's recommended to obtain it directly from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com
