Ok, so I'm new here and I thought I'd share what I'm working on right now and what people think. To get straight to the point, I have a 2015 MBP running macOS 12.7.6 Monterey and it runs just fine for basic stuff, but out of curiosity's sake I looked into installing Linux Mint onto a 512gb external USB drive (to preserve my 1TB of internal storage) and install was super easy. Furthermore, I wondered about dual booting Windows 10 and Linux from said USB drive, completing the holy trinity of operating systems on one computer. So far Windows install has been a pain, there's no real way to make a USB installer from macOS or Linux, and as I don't have anything running Windows right now, I'm having a friend make one for me. Anyway, that's about it, I'll update if people are interested. Please let me know if you have any good free "Windows Installer Maker" software that works on macOS or Linux! Thanks for reading! -strat_modder08

Ensure your ISO is ready and connect a USB drive. Click the file and select the option to create a bootable USB from the menu. Confirm if this matches your intention. Remember, with Apple devices you must keep the Options key pressed during startup until the device powers on, then release it.
