Can I install the genuine Windows 11 24H2 image using a MicroPE USB drive?
Hello everyone, I plan to use MicroPE to boot from a USB drive and install the genuine Windows 11 24H2 system image. I'd like to ask if this is feasible and whether anyone has tried it before.

You can use a MicroPE (or any modern WinPE-based) USB drive to launch the Windows 11 setup process. However, the tiny MicroPE environment itself cannot perform the actual installation. It acts as a bootable helper to run the standard setup.exe from the genuine Windows 11 ISO file.
