What are the errors you’re seeing? Which type of USB drive are you using? Could be a shit/failing drive.
I always use Rufus to create bootable drives from images, give it a go: https://rufus.ie/en/

Firstly I was having missing drivers. Downloaded drivers. Installation wizard couldn't see them. Just turned off raid in bios as I'm only using one M2 SSD.
Then the install started working, it went through the first step of downloading windows files, then got to about 25% on getting files ready for installation before throwing an error saying files missing.
Just started a fresh today with a fresh setup from windows media tool on the same usb but now I don't get even onto the install. It says Windows cannot open the required file D:\sources\install.wim
I can see mention online of this being due to the 4gb file size limit of fat32 but surely windows own tool should know this.
A big issue I have is that I don't have another windows computer. I have had access to one the last few days for trying but don't any more. I tried both windows media tool thing and rufus -
It's a SanDisk usb flash stick, 16gb. I've also seen mention from people online that for some reason SanDisk doesn't work but thats pretty crazy. I've got another of the same usb stick but no other makes available

Hello, noob here. I am having trouble creating and using a windows installation usb to install windows 11 on a laptop that currently has no OS. I've tried and retried, rewritten the usb etc. I get to various different stages in the install but I get various different errors that I can't get past. Question is, instead of creating an installation usb, is there a difference if I just put an ISO image on a USB? Will I be able to boot into that rather than going through the installation process? And if so, once I'm booted into the windows usb, can I then install windows onto the SSD from within that boot?
