Windows 10: Clean install Windows 11 with a USB flash drive connected to a hub?

I'm planning to do a clean install Windows 11 on my laptop. Currently, I have an empty flash driveUSB type-a with me. However, my laptop does not support USB type-a flash drives directlyno ports for it unless I connect it to a USB type-c hub, which I also have. I'm afraid that if I use the hub, I may face several problems when bootinglike not finding the drive, etc....Since I'm new to this whole idea of a clean install, is it safe for me to use a hub? Or should I order a USB type-c flash drive instead so that I don't have to use the hub?

Installing Windows 7 via USB flash drive!

Its weird tho cause I have no problem with installing from disc. I did change it back to boot from HDD. I really dont want to uninstall all my components, kinds defeats the purpose of installing from usb. it would take longer to disconnect and reconnect after install then it would to just install from dvd.

Do you think its beacuse the drive was formated in ntfs, thats the only step I did different from the OP. Well that and the bootsect /nt60 command before coping files.

heres they way I went, probly have to try it fat32

launch diskpart.exe)
select disk 1 (or your USB drive number, use list disk to get it)
clean
create partition primary
select partition=1
active
format fs=ntfs
assign
exit

Now that the drive is boot aware, we have to initialize its boot sector with the Windows boot manager (BOOTMGR), using the Bootsect.exe utility located in the boot directory of the Vista installation DVD. We have to tell the utility that our target drive is NTFS formatted:

bootsect.exe /nt60 f:
