## Using Winutil's Win11 Creator
## Using WinUtil's Win11 Creator
Winutil includes a built-in **Win11 Creator** tool that lets you take an official Windows 11 ISO and produce a customized, debloated version. The resulting image can remove telemetry, bypass hardware requirement checks, and enable local account setup out of the box. You can export the result as a new ISO file or write it directly to a USB drive.
