Windows installation on an Acer Nitro? (lemmy.world)

G'day,

I decided to put Linux Mint on my laptop without dual booting for a while first. I have come to the realisation that I still need Windows but am having a hard time getting an installation happening. I downloaded the official Windows 11 .iso and created a bootable flash drive in Mint. It works but stops when it asks for drivers. Is this a laptop thing or an Acer thing?

Oh, I know this one! This occured when I made a bootable Windows USB on Linux. If you use Rufus to make the USB, it works. Rufus is Windows-only, sadly, so you'll need to vreate a Windows VM first.
