Winutil includes a built-in **Win11 Creator** tool that lets you take an official Windows 11 ISO and produce a customized, debloated version. The resulting image can remove telemetry, bypass hardware requirement checks, and enable local account setup out of the box. You can export the result as a new ISO file or write it directly to a USB drive.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> You need an **official Windows 11 ISO** from [Microsoft's website](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11) before starting. Custom, modified, or non-official ISOs are not supported. The process uses ~10–15 GB of temporary disk space, so make sure you have room.
> [!NOTE]
> This workflow is intended for fresh Windows installs, not in-place upgrades of an existing installation.

> [!TIP]
> Already have a Windows 11 ISO? Skip the third-party tools and use Winutil's built-in **[Win11 Creator](#using-winutils-win11-creator)** at the top of this page.
- Download official Windows 11 media from [Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11).
- If you prefer to write a finished ISO with another tool, common choices include [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/) or [Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/).
> [!NOTE]
> Always download Windows ISOs from official Microsoft sources or trusted tools like Rufus/UUP Dump to avoid tampered images.
