I was trying to upgrade my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11 but it tells me The PC must support TPM 2.0. I don’t know what TPM is and it is a quite old PC I bought five years ago.

After that, I did some searching and a lot of people recommend the Rufus app to install Windows 11 on unsupported PC that lacks TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. However, the USB created by Rufus is not seen as a bootable media. I did set the BIOS to boot from USB first.

I burned the Windows 11 ISO two more times with different booting scheme prorvided by Rufus. Unfortunately, it does not work either. How to fix this if Rufus is not working on Windows 11? Anyone know what is the problem in my case?

Thanks.
