I assume you meant the M5540 as there is no 5440 model. If you get a message along the lines of your system is missing a driver and insert disk with driver etc. then it probably pertains to an M.2 SSD which I believe you must have installed. Try putting the USB drive into another USB port.  If that does not help then have a look at this video. It is meant for Windows 10 but it would appear that the issue remains in Windows 11.
Hi all, I need to do a clean install of Windows 11 on my M5440 which, according to the Dell note, has been tested for compatibility and is supported. Unfortunately, when using the Windows Media Creation tool, the installer stops and prompts for missing drivers (doesn't say which). And there are no recovery Win11 images available from Dell.  Any advice on how to deal with the driver prompt or locate a suitable image?
