This is the instructions and links to get a copy of windows installed quickly.

Tools

We'll need a couple things before we can start.

Rufus

Download rufus to burn the ISO onto the usb:

https://rufus.ie/en/

Get the portable version so we don't have to install rufus directly.

Windows

Get a copy of Windows from massgrave:

Burning

Once you have rufus and the windows iso, we can then use rufus to do the burning. The great thing is rufus can disable the various windows 11 requirements and also create a user account and skip the privacy questions. This makes it so that all we need to do is plug in the usb and start the installation of windows.

Click start and the windows questions will appear in rufus.

Office

You also want to install Office as we can activate both windows and office at the same time.
