although the
Hiren’s BOOT 2024 USB Win11 PE

has a windows 11 front end, that windows is just that.
a stripped down version of win11, without the normal win11 stuff in it.

it will make a win11 runable boot disk on the cd or usb stick.

It does not matter what version of windows is on the laptop or external drive. these will be seen as data drives by the cd or usb version that will be used to run the show..

its only simple if you know the answer..lol
