I have Linux Mint installed on my work PC. As I work with IT I am sometimes tasked with doing stuff like restoring Iphones and such, which is normally done through Itunes. But there’s no Linux support for Itunes, and I haven’t been able to install it through Wine. I also can’t use a VM as my PC isn’t powerful enough for it. I’m hoping there’s a solution for this, as I will have to re-install Windows if I can’t get it to work on Linux, and I really want to avoid that.

    It’s possible to install Windows onto a USB? I ask b/c once in a blue moon I need a Windows install for mouse firmware updates or something.

      Should be. A USB drive is a storage device like any other. Shouldn’t matter that it isn’t connected via SATA or NVME.

        Should be.

        One would think, but so you haven’t actually done it, have you? Because I might be misremembering, but I’m pretty sure I tried to install Windows onto a USB drive one time. I couldn’t get the installer to show the USB drive. I really want to be wrong, though.
