Rufus Version 3.16 Beta 2 now allows creating your usb
From an ISO which will remove the compatibility checking
Allows install on incompatible hardware
Without needing registry hack
Or copying files from Windows 10 etc
For clean install of Windows 11 just use the extended option
In Rufus

You're welcome
Basically automates what you could do yourself
But simpler for people than copying wim/esd files
From Windows 10 iso to 11 iso
Plus no doubt any further changes in what Microsoft do
Rufus will release a new version to cover it

Here's what you get for those who have not used Rufus before. Really easy.

Rufus continues to be an awesome tool

Mcnumpty2323 · 18 Oct 2021 at 20:52

Yep it's really useful
Couple of other similar tools that I use
Are yumi and ventoy and balena etcher
Rufus has just added usb to go for Windows 11
As described in my other Rufus post
Useful to test windows 11
Without installing it
Or just as a portable windows to use on other computers
