    If it were me I'd look into this further. I recently updated
a Win10 install to 11 using an ISO offline, put on a USB
stick with Rufus. I never enable secure boot, so I think I
had it disabled. I don't recall whether removing that
requirement is an option with Rufus, but it might be.

  Sorry I can't be more definitive. I've only followed these issues
with partial interest, but I have noticed that there seem to be
lots of ways around the limitations.

   One thing I've found, though, is that Microsoft don't want
people messing around anymore. If you want their updates
then it's best to play by their rules. I block updates and MS
generally from my computers now, so I can tweak as I like.
(The Win11 update I did was before I started tweaking.) But
if you really want Win11 and updates then eventually you
may have to stop making your own choices and do as they
tell you.
