Please please please help me with a windows install
I am using linux is why i posted this here I have tried every single guide i could find. it wont work. I am trying to make a bootable win10 usb so i can install it on an old laptop to update a piece of equipment that requires windows. It’s been hours and hours of my time I never imagined this could burn a whole afternooon… I treid this one GNOME Disks provides an intuitive graphical interface to manage storage drives. It comes pre-installed on popular Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian. If Disks is already available on your system, simply launch it and jump to Step 4. TIP: If GNOME Disks is not installed, use your distribution‘s package manager to install. For example, on Ubuntu/Debian run: sudo apt install gnome-disks Insert your USB drive and launch GNOME Disks. In the sidebar, click your flash drive‘s entry (check the size to verify) Select USB in Disks sidebar Click the menu icon next to the drive name and select "Format Disk" from the context menu. Format disk menu option Confirm your selection in the prompt and click "Format" in the dialog after setting "(MBR/DOS)" for the new partition table. This will completely erase all data on the drive. Format disk confirmation prompt Wait for formatting to complete. Then click the "+" button to create a new partition. Create partition button In the "Create Partition" dialog, set capacity and partition type as NTFS. Set partition details Open your Windows 10 ISO image file, right click the icon, and select "Open With Disk Image Mounter". This will mount it as a virtual drive. Open the newly mounted drive, select all files/folders, copy them over to your flash drive partition you just formatted. Copy Windows ISO contents After the copy completes, right click the USB partition and eject it safely. The drive is now ready to be used for installing or repairing Windows. The GNOME Disks utility provides an easy graphical way to format drives and configure partitions. But if you‘re looking for advanced storage management, GParted is an excellent choice. Let‘s see how to create Windows 10 media with it. I tried several other ones too I tried restoring disk image like i do with linux iso and NOTHING IS WORKING IT JUST WONT WORK MAN… what am i doing wrong??? I honestly should never have removed windows from it. I knew I would need that pos OS at some point for something and they seriously make it harder than anything i have ever installed ever, to install on a computer. I don;'t get it man. It’s ruining my entire day.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
