Although you can install Windows 11 in multiple ways, if you plan to start from scratch, you usually use a bootable USB flash drive to proceed with the setup. However, you must manually create one since you cannot officially purchase a physical media from the Microsoft Store.
On Windows 11, you have at least two tools to download the installation files onto a USB flash drive and make it bootable. You can use the official Media Creation Tool to download the files to removable storage. You can also use Rufus, a third-party tool that makes creating a flash drive to install the operating system on a compatible or incompatible device easy.
