I have an old Lenovo ideapad 110-14isk and I wanted to upgrade the storage from a HDD to a SSD. So I just replaced the HDD and now I want to install the os. I already have the os(tiny 11) installed on a usb stick. But I can't seem to boot off the usb. Pls help

Try this. BTW I would use Rufus to create your Windows 11 iso. (I wouldnt recommend tiny11 cuz of activiation issues) Select GPT and try again.
