Could you build this?
Partial The UI for choosing an ISO and a USB drive is easy to build, but reliable low-level disk writing and boot sector handling for BIOS and UEFI requires systems expertise and extensive hardware testing.
What it would actually take: A real version needs raw disk I/O on Windows (or a cross-platform equivalent), ISO parsing, and correct MBR/GPT and UEFI/BIOS boot setup, including handling of Windows installer ISOs. The hard part is making it safe and reliable across many drive and firmware combinations. It takes a systems programmer with extensive testing on real hardware.
