The system was corrupted and won't be boot up on my Surface pro 11 laptop (equipped with Snapdragon 10 core processor), so, thinking to create windows 11 media through USB-C port, however, after enter into Bios and select usb storage as bootable device, the system doesn't boot it from usb-c, instead it returns back to bios interface again (the bootable media created is confirmed to be good and it works on my other surface devices).

Anyone has experience on how to make the installation running?

Thanks,

You have to make a Win on Arm installation media.
The ordinary media creation tool will make a x86 bootable usb media which won't work on Arm (Snapdragon).

Microsoft usually has a spot on their site for making recovery media specific to certain Surface Devices. You ought to be able to make a USB drive that functions accordingly, then boot to it, then kick off whatever recovery process that particular Surface model will do to restore a clean copy of Windows.
