Was this a consumer-end purchase, or is it an old school laptop (as in, given or sold to you by the school)?
If it's the latter, it's entirely possible that it had Windows 11 Pro Education pre-installed with the BIOS configured to only accept installs of the Education edition because it was never intended to be used for personal usage.
If that's the case, you'll need a custom ei.cfg file on the boot drive to force it to display all versions of Windows.
