How to Use
- Eject the USB safely from Finder (or
diskutil eject /dev/disk13) - Plug it into your Lenovo Xiaoxin
- Boot → press
F2/F12(orFn+F2) → select USB as boot device - Windows 11 25H2 Setup will load automatically — it recognizes
.swmfiles natively
No Etcher needed. No “missing partition table” errors. This is the official Microsoft-compatible UEFI boot method.
