ASUS ROG G16 Strix 2023 - No CSM or Legacy support on BIOS for Windows XP

Hi,

I've been trying to load Windows XP on a ROG g16 Strix, but the BIOS doesn't recognise the Boot loader of WIndows XP , but it shows the USB where the XP installer is located. The Boot menu only shows the Windows 11 Pro & not Windows XP (USB Stick)

I have disabled the Secure Boot and Fast boot, but there doesn't seem to be an option for CSM nor Legacy anywhere in the BIOS.

I just want to install XP on a USB stick and boot it from the USB stick itself for a bare metal experience and not a virtualization software which doesn't work correctly on top of win 11 PRO. 

Is there a way for the bootloader to show Windows XP, such as patching the XP for UEFI?

Have you  tried VMWare for the virtualization software ?

Yes I've tried VMware which is very slow on windows 11 due to the Microsoft Defender's Core Isolation. Even after disabling it seems to be 70% faster but lags when I use a browser. The VMware can't run Windows XP smoothly at all.  Although I tried to boot the USB stick on a very Old Asus laptop (K551) it showed a black screen, with third party tool such as easy2boot I could get the windows XP installer to show up but then it crashed with a BSOD.
