How to Make a Bootable USB to Bypass Restrictions on Windows 11 22H2?

Microsoft has strict hardware requirements to install Windows 11 (version 21H2). It would help if you had a modern processor, Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage to install Windows 11.

Microsoft has raised the restrictions to install Windows 11 22H2, and now you have an internet connection and a Microsoft account to finish the initial setup. But don’t worry. If you do not have a spirit internet connection, you can bypass all restrictions using Rufus 3.19 (and higher releases).

Though Microsoft inflicts restrictions and makes the installation more complicated, you will use workarounds and tools like Rufus to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware without a Microsoft account.
