Hi Cam. Thanks for your reply. For you/any others who might have these kinds of questions/issues (I know this isn't strict Fedora) It appears there's the Windows data files for the ISO It appears the windows mediacreationtool.exe is used It appears that win11 doesn't require a key (true/false)?? still researching this It appears a clean usb fat32 can be formatted/used for the bootable ISO.. This could then allow for testing of installing Fedora/etc.. and returning to win as needed.. Feel free to add anything I may have left out.. thanks ps.. Now to get hp to lower their prices!
