Ok, I got a USB stick and set up ventoy and loaded it with Linux.

I am glad I've done this extra baby step before fully installing Linux because I've discovered the hard drive which I saved all my files on as a backup is apparently Windows locked and I cannot access my important files from there while in Linux.

This exercise has somehow convinced my windows computer that it is 1 am Monday now on the East Coast, but it is only 8 pm Sunday. Everything else seems normal and ok so idk 🤔🤷‍♀️

Anyways back to the drawing board. What a pain in the ass 🤣 It's hard trying to be clever with computers when you've spent a lifetime just accepting not being very good at tech 🥺
