Oh yes it can, I've just done it twice.

1st an upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Ethernet cable removed 
after the files had downloaded & no request for an MSA

2nd After cloning Windows 11 from a smaller M.2 drive, formatting & 
partitioning the drive, used the Media Creation Tool to do a fresh install.
Then used the Shift + F10 Command Prompt method to install successfully.
