Windows 10: Bootable installation media not detected in BIOS ASUS

Hi, I have an old ASUS VivoBook Flip 14 TP401MAR from 2021 that came with Windows 10. I want to sell it to get an Android tablet. But since I installed ChromeOS Flex on I had to reinstall Windows 11 via the BIOS. But when I use my Rufus Created USB Flash Drive with UEFI Windows 11 install media, it does not detect it. I tried enabling secure boot and disabling chromeos's boot option so it would not disable secure boot by running chromeos, but it still doesn't detect anything, the usb has uefi windows 11.

Laptop bios dot not detect bootable USB(win10) - Tried everything ..

The USB works on other computers and is detectable by their bios - it also is detected by the OS of the laptop, but not on BIOS. I have tried the following:

1. Made another bootable with rufus in GPT partition, both GPT and MBR don't work .
2. Disabled Safe Boot
3. Tried with Legacy Boot

Nothing works and I do not understand why. Any help is greatly appreciated.
