Final answer:

To boot Windows 11 from a USB, create a bootable USB with the Windows 11 ISO file, change the boot order in BIOS settings to prioritize the USB drive, and restart the computer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To boot (to boot up, to start up or booting) a computer is to load an operating system (OS) into the computer's main memory or RAM.

To boot Windows 11 from a USB, you'll need to follow these steps:

  • Create a bootable USB by downloading the Windows 11 ISO file from the official Microsoft website.
  • Use a tool like Rufus or the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool to burn the ISO file onto the USB drive.
  • Restart your computer and enter the BIOS settings by pressing the appropriate key during startup (usually Esc, F2, or Del).
  • In the BIOS settings, navigate to the Boot menu and change the boot order to prioritize the USB drive.
  • Save the changes and exit the BIOS settings.
  • Plug in the USB drive and restart your computer.

Windows 11 installation process should start from the USB drive.
