You don’t download the ISO file to a USB stick.
You download it to your PC and use the free Rufus utility that I zipped up and attached in that discussion link I posted to transfer the ISO file to a DVD so that it is bootable.
You have to use the version I attached 3.18 because the newer Rufus versions removed the W11 hardware check bypass hack.
Try it again in the morning when you are ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ as we say in the USA.:
