Hello – I just went through this entire process. I’m very, *very* close to the end result after many hours of issues but there’s one thing I cannot trespass; when I open the ‘install’ file using PowerShell, I get an error code that says ‘a prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied.’ Just a disclaimer but I did this entire process on my Windows 10 & my PC isn’t compatible with the Windows 11 update. Is there any way I can go through this entire process that’s fit for Windows 10? I’ve spent many excessive hours on this & I don’t want it to all go to waste
