     @smartomato@eientei.org thing is that I have Linux installed in this machine, I need windows for work, and I would rather not install it on my hard drive, so I was looking at options on what to do

     @waifu windows over usb sucks, I would recomend using live linux with persistence files until you can afford an ssd

     @waifu Hopefully you have better luck than I did. Last time I tried I kept getting BSoDs whenever the OS got starved of available bandwidth.

     @waifu maybe the software you need runs over WindowsPE, which boots straight from a ISO without instalation, if it doesnt welp idk

     @phnt@fluffytail.org no it's a usb3, it's been an hour so I'm guessing I'll shut it down and search for another option

     @waifu You aren't using a USB2 stick, are you? Windows 10 and 11 suck on spinning rust, and the random IO of USB sticks is much worse.

     @waifu Your options are either replacing the current drive/dualbooting, or an external SSD. 2.5" HDDs have a boot time of around ~10 minutes from my experience and take literal hours to update.

     @phnt@fluffytail.org well at least 10 minutes it's better than an hour and wouldn't contaminate my SSD as much

     @waifu Happy to help!
     Also worth noting that OTG Windows install on USB devices aren't officially supported, so your mileage will probably vary at some point.

     @phnt@fluffytail.org Yeah I see no problem from that part, I will only use it for remote desktop, literally the only reason, because I can't use vms and they don't have a linux client
