If your USB isn’t booting, ensure it was created correctly. Make sure you used the correct settings in Rufus. It’s also worth trying different USB ports (preferably USB 2.0 ports). Ensure that Secure Boot is disabled if you are using a non-certified installation method. Check if your system supports UEFI and that it has been configured properly.
If you continue having issues with Windows 11 clean install with Rufus, you can also try the following tools:
1. Windows Media Creation Tool: This is an official tool provided by Microsoft that can create a bootable USB directly.
- Download and run the Media Creation Tool.

- Follow the prompts to create the bootable USB.
2. UNetboootin or Etcherr: These are alternative tools for creating bootable USB drives, though they might not have specific Windows support like Rufus.
