okay, installed with all the right options & it works. Thanks for your help

I will try another Disto if I can. I restored windows too. Are there other, safer methods to do this if I only have one SSD. Also, If I do reinstall how do I tell the installer specifically which partition to use

i let it sit there for about 25 mins how long should it normally be taking? isnt initramfs a vey basic component this is strange since everything else takes only up to 5mins to install

and by the installation is fine I mean up until that step everything has been working fine. installing software/bootloadet

I have a 28GB D drive that seems to be being used for recovery and backups & a 210GB C drive, I could easily free about 30GB for another partition. I have the bootable USB set up.

Yes I have recovered windows & all my files completely now & that USB I used for windows (just bought one big enough for booting) should be able to be used for linux files, I can just transfer them over from the SD can’t I?

Okay so Just leave some unallocated space of tge size needed tge option to install alongsode windows will be tgere select that and itll install to the unallocated memory, without touching windows?

The dual boot is simply there because I still on occasion need to use windows-only software. Otherwise, everything’ll be on Fedora. All I need to do is migrate some of my projects

about 90GB is left on C:\ but I’ll only need 30GB for my linux partition. Besides, I can always resize the partition later, right?

okay, exactly how should I flash that boot image to the phone? do I put it in download mode? & will this erase all the data?
