Once all the files are copied into the Windows11 folder. Open Command prompt with admin rights. For that, click on the search icon and type cmd, when Command prompts appear in search results, click Run as administrator.
When the UAC dialog box appears, click Yes to continue.
In the Command prompt window, you need to execute this command:

After that hit enter. This will run the Windows 11 setup file automatically.
