Hello, glad to help. I have recently seen that you can easily download a VHDX from the oficial website here [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewARM64](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewARM64) if you are a Windows insider (just downloaded today a Windows11\_InsiderPreview\_Client\_ARM64\_en-us\_25324.VHDX).

Then, you can use qemu-img (.exe is available too here [qemu-img for WIndows - Cloudbase Solutions](https://cloudbase.it/qemu-img-windows/)) to convert it to a raw file, then you can dd it either via an smb share, an usb stick or even via curl | tar if you have an apache2/nginx around and a live Ubuntu 22.04 running on the box, to the disk of your choice.

These are ballpark instructions, please let me know if you need anything or you have an issue with the above workflow.
