Regarding the issue of the USB drive being visible in Disk Management but not listed in File Explorer, this is normal behavior because the WTG drive is offline by default. You simply need to bring the drive online in Disk Management and assign it a drive letter to access it normally.
Regarding the boot issue on your friend's older computers, you must first ensure that these older PCs are compatible with Windows 11 and that they support the partition scheme (GPT or MBR) you used when creating the WTG drive. This is critical, as many older computers cannot boot an operating system from a GPT-formatted disk.
Furthermore, you've only mentioned that it fails to boot from the drive, but you haven't provided any specifics about the failure itself. For example, does the BIOS not recognize the USB drive as a boot option at all, or does it start to load Windows and then crash with a Blue Screen?
If possible, please provide as much detail as you can and include screenshots. This will allow us to diagnose the problem much more quickly.
