Balena Etcher - Question about creating a bootable usb for Windows 11, using MacOs

Hello everyone. I have a macbook pro M1 Max and I’m going to build a PC rig to play games on the side in near future. I did a lot of research about how to create a bootable usb drive in order to install windows 11 on the freedos pc. The easiest solution I found was the Etcher iso flasher app. I followed the instructions on youtube and I believe I have successfully created a bootable drive…

However, I’m a little skeptical because the usb drive’s file format turned out as “UDF” instead of “FAT32” (Please see the image l’ve attached). Do you guys think this will be a problem during the installation process, or would it even work at all?

Thank you.

I did the same and my machine does not want to boot from it even if it doe shave efi support. My impression is that it does not see the USB disk as bootable at all.
