Win11 can be a great OS, actually.  It's less so when it's pirated, 
though, and these manhandling schemes with Rufus, to get around TPM, 
show that some people simply want to claim Windows for its software, but 
are willfully ignorant of or are outright trying to deconstruct 
Microsoft's established patterns for how the OS is installed and used. 
There's just not a good reason for this, ultimately, it's trying to 
orchestrate a husbandry of the OS that simply isn't necessary, if one 
were humble, I do change important settings from the defaults, and such, 
but forcing modifications to the Windows system as it's delivered is 
just attempting to customize the product into something that ultimately 
fails to retain the components that MS provides, it's running away from 
what a complete Windows OS is.  I, for one, want the experience to be 
fundamentally intact.
