Installing Windows 10 through Ubuntu Linux 20.04 without usb stick
Hi, I'm helping my friend installing W10 on his new device, thing is, neither of us have a usb drive of large enough size.
So, I'm under the impression that it is possible to install W10 if you boot into a partition which contains the ISO image.
I have some Ubuntu usbs (all 4GB so not large enough) So we installed this to his PC in the hope that we can install W10 through this. (We could go and get an 8GB USB but ideally W10 is needed ASAP.)
We've made a partition formatted with NTFS and it contains a windows 10 ISO that we downloaded. Is there anything we need to do to make this work (To boot to it and install W10)? We gave the partition the "boot" flag.
Unreleated but still an issue, since i've also tried this with a non-windows ISO lying around, the partition that we made isn't showing up in the Linux bootloader, GRUB, so I don't really know how to boot to it.
