This worked dude thank you so much.

I tried getting it to run on the old laptop since I didn’t care a bout it but my god of course that user (which is the only one ) wasn’t allwoed to run root adn instead of reading up for an hour on how to edit the groups I finally just ran it as root on my personal machine and it worked. thank you man I was for real about to snap the laptop in half i was getting blinded with rage.

I normally don’t lose my cool like this so easily but I have to update this to use it or else I lose my job so windows just doing everything it could to not work was making me lose it man.

Figured this would be like making a linux usb. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Is it normal to have to be running this as superuser?

Man I can not believe Microsoft makes it this fucking difficult to make a bootable usb. It is honestly insane

Because it will have errors with device access I am almost 100% sure. But yeah, I’ll try it with GNOME Boxes or something but I already know it’s going to start talking about udev rules and stuff like that and then it’s another time sink to figure out.

I tried going to the library to use their windows but you cant download anything (like the garmin updater) so I don’t even know what the point is of having them there honestly.

I have not I guess this is step one? I was hoping to figure out a way to do it within fedora somehow but I will look into updating the motherboards firmware first then.
