[windows] create a windows install USB on MacOS

[nguyenvulong]

steps

0. download an ISO file of windows from the official website
1. mount the ISO file by double-clicking on the downloaded ISO file
2. plug in the USB, format it with exFAT
3. open the Terminal, run diskutil list, it will show the external drive, something like dev/diskX, my case X = 4
4. (if step 5 fails (device busy), you should run diskutil umount /dev/disk4s1 and diskutil umount /dev/disk4s2 to umount the partitions first)
5. run sudo dd if=/path/to/windows11.iso of=/dev/diskX bs=1m. BE CAREFUL.
6. wait until it finishes, then eject the USB, run diskutil eject /dev/diskX
