Windows won't let me pick bootable usb for Windows 11/10

From my own experience, Windows 11 or Windows 10 Media Creation Tool has issues when making bootable USB. If it does not work, I suggest giving a try on another bootable USB software like UMNetBootin.

UMNetBootin (Universal Netboot Installer) is an open-source tool designed to create bootable USB drives for various operating systems, primarily Linux distributions. It allows users to load a system image (ISO) to a USB drive and make it bootable, facilitating the installation or live usage of different operating systems without altering the existing system.

Here are the steps for recreating bootable USB for Windows 11/10/8/7:

Step 1: Plug in a USB flash drive with at least 16 GB of storage for Windows 10 and Windows 11 ISO.

Step 2: Import the Windows 11/10 ISO into the app and choose the USB drive from the device menu.

Step 3: Click "OK" to begin creating the bootable USB. The process may take several minutes as files are copied and the bootloader is installed.

Step 4: Once the progress bar reaches 100%, the USB drive is ready. Safely remove the USB drive from your computer.

Step 5: Plug the Windows 11/10 bootable USB into the target computer and boot from it.

This is one of the simplest ways to fix if Windows won't let you pick up the bootable USB during Windows 11 or Windows 10 OS clean install.
