Is there not a .iso available for W11

I am trying to install w11 using an .iso, but every place I have checked on Microsoft, or the Windows Insider, the one's that show up as an iso, download as something else. The media creation tool does not even recognize them as an iso, neither does rufus. I did find one page on the insider page that showed all the upgrades, but the column for iso's was empty. could someone send me in the right direction.

Unfortunately, answer is Yes, there is not a ISO available for Windows 11. Microsoft doesn’t release a standalone Windows 11 ISO file until now, we cannot download Windows 11 ISO from official channel.

This is my idea:
1.Clean install a Windows 10 21H1 on a test machine.
2.Upgrade this Windows 10 21H1 system to Windows 11 via Insider Program, Dev channel.
3.Sysprep and shutdown, boot in WinPE to capture this Windows 11 image.

If you don’t need to care deployment related issue, you can even clone Windows 11 system to other computer for trail by Ghost tool.
