I went here to download a Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO).

After downloading this image I tried to burn it into a disk-on-key with Balena Etcher, but I got the following error:

It looks like this is not a bootable image. The image does not appear to contain a partition table, and might not be recognized or bootable by your device

How could this be explained?

It should be noted that Balena Etcher allows me to continue but I chose not to. I first need to know what I did wrong if at all.

Yes, for some reason Balena Etcher shows this error message when trying to install Windows. I have no explanation as to why. However, following is a possible solution:

On Ubuntu, you could use Ventoy.

  1. Download, extract and cd
  2. sudo ./VentoyWeb.sh
  3. Open link in browser and press install (it installs Ventoy on your UBS)
  4. Copy Windows11.iso to the mount named "ventoy"
  5. Reboot from usb

Here's a walkthrough on how to use it Ventoy Tutorial. In the boot menu, use "wimboot"

(Let me save you some time if you thought about ignoring this warning. It doesn't work)
