Creating a Windows 11 Install USB in 2022

I have been installing Windows for a long time. Does it get easier? I want to say it gets easier, but it seems like there's always some new wrinkle! These instructions are as much a note to my future self as they may be useful to anyone else.

For me, I was not able to get any exfat-based installs, or even any of the GUI helpers to make this process any more straightforward. Maybe on your target Windows / host OS those helpers will work, but the below process (as of current year) is consistent, and not overly complicated.

Overview:

Downloading an official ISO image from MS:
- https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
Formatting the drive (at least 8GB) as GPT, and one FAT-format partition (aka MS-DOS)

Can use Disks or Disk Utilty for this

OpenSSL Server Example

This sample code shows how to create an OpenSSL server application.

Compilation

Prerequisites:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc pkg-config libssl-dev openssl

	# GOAL IN CONTEXT:
	# Simulate using a multiprocessing pool to download a list of files synchronously
	# from a set of servers where each worker in the pool targets a specific
	# download server.
	# Our Worker subclasses Process so the target server can be added as an attribute.
	# A CustPool subclasses Pool so our Worker subclass is used instead of Process.
