<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>
π <strong>Create Bootable USB Windows Installers</strong><br>
<sub>
WinDiskWriter knows how to make a bootable drive for each Windows Image type.
</sub>
</li>
<br>
<li>
π <strong>Patch Windows 11 Installer</strong><br>
<sub>
You can bypass TPM, Minimum RAM, Secure Boot and some other System Requirements set by Microsoft for Windows 11.<br>
Just click <strong>Patch Installer Requirements</strong> before writing.
</sub>
</li>
<br>
<li>
πΎ <strong>Legacy BIOS Support</strong><br>
<sub>
You can create an all-in-one USB drive that supports both <strong>UEFI</strong> and <strong>Legacy</strong> boot modes.<br>
It's required if you want to install Windows on computers with <strong>old firmwares</strong> that don't support EFI booting.
</sub>
</li>
<br>
<li>
π <strong>Add EFI Support to Windows Vista and 7</strong><br>
<sub>
Windows Vista and 7 don't support EFI booting out of the box.<br>
Additional steps are required to get these versions to boot on EFI, such as extracting a EFI-capable bootloader from the installer. <strong>WinDiskWriter does it for you!</strong>
</sub>
</li>
<br>
<li>
π <strong>Split Windows Installer Images</strong><br>
<sub>
Newer Windows ISOs contain a large (<strong>>4GB</strong>) install.wim file.<br>
Since FAT32 only supports file sizes up to 4GB, WinDiskWriter <strong>automatically splits it for you!</strong>
</sub>
</li>
</ul>

<h2>Planned Changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>
π <strong>Add support for selecting individual partitions</strong><br>
<sub>
This will allow you to choose the destination device not only from the list of βwholeβ disks, but also the individual partitions of your USB drive or any internal disk.
</sub>
</li>
<br>
<li>
π <strong>Add support for splitting install.esd (compressed system image) files</strong><br>
<sub>
Some Windows ISOs, (usually repacks) use .esd system images for better compression.<br>
But sometimes, even a .esd file is too large to fit into FAT32 partitions.<br>
Right now, WinDiskWriter can only split install.wim images. Splitting .esd requires wimlib to be updated.
</sub>
</li>
<br>
<li>
π» <strong>Add support for 32-bit Macs</strong><br>
<sub>
Right now, you can only use WinDiskWriter on Intel x64 / Apple silicon Mac computers.<br>
Since this software has the minimum Mac OS X requirements of Snow Leopard 10.6, it's possible to compile a 32-bit build.<br>
But I canβt do it right now, since this kind of build operation isnβt supported on Apple Silicon.
</sub>
</li>
<br>
<li>
π <strong>Implement a feature that allows adding a custom ei.cfg</strong><br>
<sub>
This feature will allow users to select the Windows edition of their choice, regardless of the ACPI SLIC configuration.
</sub>
</li>
<br>
<li>
π <strong>Implement a feature that allows to skip the online account requirement from Windows 11 22H2+</strong><br>
<sub>
This feature will allow users to skip the requirement for signing in to their Microsoft Account on the install stage.<br>
Since this feature isn't implemented, use "<strong>OOBE/BYPASSNRO</strong>" by pressing Shift+F10 on the Microsoft Account login stage.
</sub>
</li>
<br>
<li>
π¨ <strong>Resolve UI drawing issues on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9 and lower</strong><br>
<sub>
There are some UI drawing issues on some older Mac OS X versions due to different behaviour of some system views.<br>
Itβs not critical at all, and it doesnβt affect functionality.
</sub>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Additional Information</h2>
<p>
This software is written in <b>Objective-C</b>, a programming language that allows it to run on <b>many versions of macOS</b>, from <b>Snow Leopard 10.6</b> to <b>Sonoma 14.0</b>. Objective-C is a powerful and efficient language that combines object-oriented and dynamic features with the C language.<br><br>
<b>WinDiskWriter</b> uses <b>wimlib</b>, a library for manipulating Windows Image (WIM) files, to perform operations such as splitting, patching, and extracting. I would like to thank the developers of wimlib for their amazing work and contribution to the open source community.<br><br>
<b>WinDiskWriter</b> optionally can use a <b>grub4dos</b> bootloader to enable Legacy BIOS Support. I would like to thank the developers of grub4dos for their great work.
