How very polite
by Roken from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54Q8F)
I'm a die hard Linux user, and have been for many many years. The closest I get to Windows is in VMs, and usually only boot those to update them.
Now, I have some (non-PC) stuff that needs firmware upgrades that simply cannot be done from a VM, so I figured, why not just bung Win 10 on a USB HDD to get going.
I do hold a valid license for Win 10, so that's not an issue.
The ISO I have is 4.7Gb, and whether I try k3b or xfburn, they both see blank DVDs as 4.4Gb, and I don't know how to change this (I understand the reasons).
But not a problem, stick it on a 16Gb USB flash drive, which has plenty of room. I figured balenaEtcher would be ideal.
So off I went. Etcher immediately saw what I wanted to do, and popped up a message suggesting that I use WoeUSB instead.
So now I am, and off it goes.
But how jolly polite of Etcher.
