Hi Robin,
Ha! I finally get to answer one instead of always asking
all the questions.
:-)
Install WoeUSB (as root):
# dnf install WoeUSB
It comes with a gui and a command line option:
Find your flash drive (sd[x]):
$ ls -al /dev/sd*
I stick it in and pull it out and see who appears
and disappers. You can also us gparted
First, erase your flash drive. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT ONE!!!
# dd bs=4096 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd[x]
Gui:
sudo root -c woeusbgui
Make sure you choose NTFS
Command line:
# woeusb --target-filesystem NTFS --device Win10_2004_English_x64.iso
/dev/sd[x]
This is Linux. Everythig is possible!
:-)
