The problem

Making a bootable USB shouldn't need a glossary

MBR or GPT? ISO or DD mode? FAT32 or NTFS? Most tools ask before they help, and one wrong pick means a drive that won't start.

A wall of settings

Partition scheme, target system, file system, cluster size: questions before you've even picked a stick.

"This PC can't run Windows 11"

TPM, Secure Boot and RAM checks stop the install on perfectly good older PCs.

Forced Microsoft account

Windows setup pushes you to sign in, when all you wanted was a local account.

Files too big for FAT32

install.wim over 4 GB and sticks over 32 GB trip up Windows' own format tool.

Wiping the wrong drive

One misread drive letter and your backup disk is now a Linux installer.

Fake-capacity sticks

A "128 GB" bargain that silently loses everything after the first few gigabytes.

Vow Bootable USB fixes all of it.

How it works

Drop. Plug. Create.

The image is read for you, the drive is picked for you, and only the choices that matter are on screen.

  1. 01

    Drop an ISO

    Drag it onto the window, press Ctrl+O, or get Windows 11 from the official page. In about a second Vow reads the version, editions and build.

    Press Create

    Tick the Windows setup tweaks you want, confirm the drive by name, allow one Windows prompt and watch the progress, speed and time left.

Features

The power of the expert tools, without the jargon

Windows installers, Linux, rescue tools and multi-boot drives, with safety built in at every step.

Windows 11 and 10 installers

UEFI and legacy BIOS, any drive size, install.wim over 4 GB split automatically. Windows Server too.

Windows setup tweaks

Skip TPM, Secure Boot, RAM and CPU checks, use a local account, skip privacy questions, no automatic BitLocker.

Knows what's in the image

Windows edition, release and build, Linux distribution, rescue tool, boot modes and files over 4 GB, read in a second.

Linux and rescue drives

Files mode keeps the stick usable, or exact image (DD) mode for hybrid ISOs. Hiren's, SystemRescue, Clonezilla and more.

Multi-boot drives

Several systems on one drive, one partition each so Secure Boot keeps working, plus space for your files.

Never the wrong disk

Only USB drives and cards are listed. The disk is checked again by size and serial right before writing.

Read-back verification

Every written byte is read back and compared, catching fake and failing drives before you rely on them.

Fake-capacity drive test

Finds sticks that lie about their size, measures real speed, then formats them to the size that really works.

Restore to a normal drive

Turn a bootable stick back into ordinary storage as FAT32 of any size, exFAT or NTFS. Always free.

Checksums and official images

MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 in one pass, with links to the official download pages.

Light & dark theme

Easy on the eyes, day or night.

Bootable USB comes with a crisp light theme and a calm dark theme. Switch with one click, or let it follow your Windows setting by itself. It remembers your choice.

Step-by-step guide

How to make a bootable Windows 11 USB

From ISO to a USB drive that starts any PC, in a few minutes.

Step 1: get it free
  1. Download and install Vow Bootable USB

    Get it free from this page. It installs without administrator rights and no account; Windows asks for permission only when a drive is written.

  2. Drop your Windows 11 ISO on the window

    Or press Get Windows 11 to open Microsoft's official download page. Vow shows the release, build and editions inside, and can check the checksum.

  3. Plug in a USB stick

    Use one big enough for the image. It appears by itself and is chosen for you when it's the only one. Internal disks and the Windows disk are never listed.

  4. Pick the setup tweaks you want

    Skip the TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and 4 GB RAM checks, use a local account instead of a Microsoft account, skip the privacy questions or stop automatic BitLocker.

  5. Press Create Windows USB

    Confirm the drive by its name and size, allow the Windows prompt, and watch the progress. The result card says what was written, and How to start a PC from it shows the boot-menu keys.

FAQ

Questions about Bootable USB

Is Vow Bootable USB free?

Yes. You can create 2 Windows install USBs a day for free, with the Windows 11 setup tweaks, image analysis, checksums, official image links, dry runs and drive restore. Unlimited, a one-time $4.95 USD payment, adds any number of drives, Linux, rescue and disk images, multi-boot, verification, drive backups and the fake-capacity test.

Can it make a Windows 11 USB for a PC without TPM 2.0?

Yes. Tick Skip the TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and 4 GB RAM checks, and Windows setup is answered for you. You can also set up a local account without a Microsoft account, skip the privacy questions and stop automatic BitLocker. These tweaks are free.

Can I use a USB stick bigger than 32 GB?

Yes. Vow writes FAT32 of any size itself, where Windows' own format stops at 32 GB, and splits an install.wim over 4 GB automatically so it fits.

Could it erase the wrong drive?

It is built not to. Only USB drives and memory cards are listed; internal disks and the Windows disk never are. You confirm the drive by name and size, and right before writing it checks again that it's the same disk and that Windows doesn't run from it.

Can I put several systems on one USB drive?

Yes, with Unlimited. Multi-boot puts each system in its own partition, so Secure Boot keeps working, and leaves the rest for your files. Boot first chooses which system starts first in seconds, without rewriting the drive.

How is it different from Rufus, Ventoy or balenaEtcher?

It offers Rufus-level Windows 11 tweaks and FAT32 over 32 GB without the jargon, Etcher-style verification and Ventoy-style multi-boot that keeps Secure Boot and the stick usable. It also reads the Windows edition and build from the image, tests for fake capacity, switches the first system in one click and can do a dry run.

Where do I get a Windows or Linux ISO?

The Get images page links to the official download pages for Windows, 8 Linux distributions and 8 rescue tools. You can also download from a direct link with resume and a checksum check.

Is it safe to install?

Yes. It is made and published by XTO Pty Ltd, an Australian company. There are no ads and no bundled software, nothing is downloaded behind your back, and it uninstalls cleanly from Windows Settings.
