After searching for quite some time, I suddenly recalled a tool called Universal MediaCreationTool that can solve your problem. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how well it suits you. It can automatically bypass all Windows 11 hardware checks, making it a convenient and reliable alternative to the windows 11 update assistant.
- Visit the official website to download the tool
