[SOLVED]Can I dual boot with windows ?

I hope I'm writing in the right place.

sudo dmidecode | grep -A 3 "Base Board"

Base Board Information
        Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
        Product Name: PRIME H310M-K R2.0
        Version: Rev X.0x

I have encountered a TPM issue before. If Secure Boot could be turned on and off, there would be no problem. But we had concluded earlier that my motherboard does not support TPM. Either I buy a chip or wait for the 12th.
But if I remember correctly, Windows support was ending, and there was a lot of confusion. I don't remember exactly? (I'd like to ask about this too)

Windows is currently installed but EXTREMELY slow. And a bunch of .dll files are missing. There are issues, it's broken. I guess i need to buy windows original key or renew it.
But will I be able to run it properly? What should I do?

Re: [SOLVED]Can I dual boot with windows ?

yes your board supports TPM:
https://www.asus.com/microsite/motherbo … n11-ready/

and no you dont need to use it, use this tool to bypass the tpm check:

and read this for dual boot:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_boot_with_Windows

if you get stuck ask back here for help

who are "we" and how EXACTLY was what EXACTLY determined?
as for "windows runs crap" - well, that's nothin to do with its key (btw: there're very simple ways to activate windows without wasting money - just sayin) but with it's overall state - so you'Re better off with wiping the partition and do a clean reinstall

there're WAY simpler ways to setup dual boot while bypassing tpm and secureboot than this - I recommend Chris Titus' "Install Windows - the Arch way" - as OP runs arch they should be able to get windows running the very same way

neither a tpm nor enabled secureboot are hard requirements for win10 nor win11 - although I recommend you to get your hands on either the latest win10 image or on a win11 image as late as 24h2 - as these still allow local account and don't enforce M$ account

no - there're several other ways - but due to legal restrictions I'm not allowed to talk public about that

How about win10 22H2 x64v1 ?

EDIT: I tried two USBs, but it doesn't recognize either of them. Could the USBs be expired/dead ?
Can I write with dd? Also, what is the difference between Windows 10 and 11?
From what I see on the Windows ISO/bootable creation page, is it true that you can't install 11 without a licensed 10? Or can it be installed using some methods, as you mentioned?

Re: [SOLVED]Can I dual boot with windows ?

extracting the install.wim as shown by Chris Titus doesn't require a key at all - but you have to keep in mind the exact version you install as you have to setup a key and activation after the first system boot
however, due to legal reasons i'm not allowed to provide further details about how to accomplish this publicly
