suddenly i remember why i started doing the gpu passthrough vm in the first place
my current plan:
1. fix refind boot record because lol thanks windows 2. run the second windows vm without passthrough 3. put my microwin back on the ventoy 4. use rufus to write the iso file as UEFI only and FAT32
if that doesnt work then like you have no idea how many different variations of different methods and tools ive attempted at this point
i could write a really blog post about how absolutely insane this attempt to install windows has been with all the shit ive tried
