Did you have any problems installing Fedora 43? I couldn’t get the install to work as it would give me an error and it seems like it was a known problem for years. I tried installing other things it needed as it was a DLL issue that I never resolved so I gave up.

My Fedora 43 installs are both bare metal. I'm ditching Windows on both machines. On the laptop, I just pulled the NVMe drive and replaced it with a faster, larger drive. The desktop machine has had a dedicated Fedora drive for many years. It is now the primary boot drive. I will be extracting my personal data off the desktop drives used by Windows since 2013. The desktop box will get a new motherboard/CPU/RAM to 2025 specs (vs 2013) and Windows 11 Pro will be loaded up as a primary boot disk. I expect to be able to access at the NTFS drive partitions at that point.

The reason for the rebuild of the desktop box is all of the specialized hardware. Hot swappable SATA III drives, a quad layer Blueray burner, specialized network cards. Solid peripherals. The power supply is an 850 watt device. I haven't decided whether the next CPU will be another i7 or an i9. My recent purchases have been i9.
