Following this guide you can install Arch Linux with GNOME 41.1 desktop, networkmanager, systemd-boot, btrfs, man pages and basic devel packages. I assume that you are using Linux when you create your installation media. If you use Windows, then use Windows tools to create bootable USB Media.
This is complete/full install guide from ISO download to GNOME desktop. Installation is done using real PC. And multiboot (using separated EFI partition) with many other operating systems, like Windows, Fedora, Ubuntu, Rocky Linux, Opensuse and Debian.
