I didn’t even enroll any fingerprints in Windows, just installing the driver did it. I didn’t do this, disabling it is enough.Īlso if you had enrolled fingerprints in Linux, installing the Windows fingerprint reader driver will cause a conflict and the fingerprint reader will no longer work in Linux. I know there are Linux scripts to remove the Windows boot loader completely. A semi-permanent fix is to go into your BIOS (F2 on boot), go to “Boot” - select “First” as EFI boot order, go to EFI boot devices, highlight the Windows boot loader and press space which should remove the “X” from the Windows boot loader. Windows did install its own boot manager and place it in front of my Linux GRUB install, so I could no longer boot and got a Windows boot manager error message since the Ventoy USB was unplugged.įortunately this was easy enough to fix, press F12 on boot and select your Linux drive. This all worked well with warm reboots, but I shutdown and did a cold boot and now I discover Windows didn’t play nice. It functions as a full Windows install on my Framework, doesn’t alter my Linux install on my SSD and lets me do all the other things you can do with Ventoy like add other Linux install environments.

I would much rather have Windows run off a Ventoy drive so I could also use it for Linux installs. I have Windows 10 in a VM but it’s misconfigured and can’t access USB. I won’t have this very soon once I sell my old laptop. Also WTG can only be written by Windows, and a fast Windows PC at that.

The entire drive gets taken up and can’t be used for other things.

I previously ran it in a Windows To Go drive, but WTG is so limiting. It cannot run by command line, it needs to install to a GUI and since the Windows installer doesn’t have this type of environment, it errors out with a “this version of Windows is not supported” error. Unfortunately WD Dashboard doesn’t run this way. Once the…Īnd inspired by this success, I tried to run the WD Dashboard software to update the firmware in my WD SN850 SSD I have installed. I just kept pressing F12 as the logo appears on boot). Reboot your computer and use F12 to access the boot menu (this can take a few tries to get the timing right.
