I usually used this tool for Gnu/Linux boot drives. It seems it also has Windows-specific features nowadays. Rufus 3.20 is out with automatic local account creation, and more for Windows 11 https://www.neowin.net/news/rufus-3...or-microsoft-account-and-more-for-windows-11/ Aug 4, 2022
i noticed it yesterday creating my stick from ISO with rufus, has 3 options to create account and two more options. i refused to use, because i always install offline, it does not take that much time to walk through the questions.
They fixed the issue: https://github.com/pbatard/Fido/issues/41 https://github.com/pbatard/Fido/releases/tag/v1.31
