Hasleo Win Setup From USB tool Destroyed my usb?

I have made several Windows to go on a portable SSD using Hasleo WinToUsb for Windows 11. They run beautifully on my computer (W11). I also have a not so old custom built that won't run W11 (currently runs W10 on internal), but the portable runs on there too, very well. Both computers are custom built.

I wanted to try the portable W11 on a friend's computer, but none of the three that he has (all W10) would boot up with it. Disk Management did show the portable, but File Explorer did not.

These 3 computers of his are older, none have TPM and cannot install Windows. All are custom built.

I asked Hasleo for advice, and they said the WtG is offline by default when running the first time. If that is true, then why do all WtG that I made run perfectly on my two computers?

I read something about including drivers in the WtG so I asked Hasleo about this. They left that out when replying. I wouldn't know what drivers to include or how to include them.

Any suggestions? I don't know what specs his computers are.

    Your computers are newer, likely have compatible hardware, drivers, and possibly UEFI/BIOS configurations that support booting from external drives.
