Also, I’ve seen Rufus claiming to be able to remove the TPM requirement from the installer. I didn’t test it though.

Works well, I've tested it thoroughly, and it is part of my standard toolbox as IT tech now.
Not because of the TPM requirement (we don't install Windows on unsupported devices), but because it also lets you install it without a Microsoft account.

I'd use that but worry MS will require it in a later win 11 update
