I think it was something like that, though its been about 6 weeks so Im a little fuzzy on it now. I was following a guide I’d found online and reached something different from what the guide said, so I aborted install to check on somethings and that apparently set something that when i tried to restart installation it kept throwing an error. Something about starting the installation without completing it messed something else up that I havent been able to fix. I spent an hour or so looking through stuff, even wiped the PC and it still wouldn’t work. I’ve been meaning to go back to it but haven’t gotten around to it.

Yeah secure boot really fucked with me for like an hour. Then bitlocker stalled me for days. Windows marks it’s territory with asparagus piss and vinegar. Disable fastboot and secure boot, remove bitlocker.
