Is that really a thing? What device would possibly need to use a floppy drive to install Windows 10?

@SumKindaMunster I doubt lol, I doubt W10 would even run on anything constrained to floppy disks

@Elessar Thanks, that's what I was thinking...who the heck would produce 2000 floppy disks to install Windows 10?

@ABCDEF7 Ah, thank you. Good find.

@SumKindaMunster Exactly; also if I recall correctly it takes circa 512MB just to boot to the install screen, where you can partition the disk and where it'll stop you if it finds any compatibility issue.

Imagine getting a "Sorry, Windows 10 cannot be installed on this device" after having swapped 356 diskettes 🥴
