Old lady asked me to copy the files to her new laptop, which is some Chromebook-tier piece of shit with 128 GB UFS and 4 gigs of RAM, yet it still has the fucking Copilot button. Said UFS drive has been giving me great troubles. Strelec WinPE sees it, vanilla installers don't. Installing it from WinPE results in INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. And of course there are no drivers on support page (storufs.ini is provided by M$ but isn't loaded for some reason).

@mint remember that microshit says you can't run 11 on a system with a 512gb nvme and 16gb ram because the cpu is one generation too old

also does Linux boot from it?

@sendpaws It does so I might do a roundabout way of installing it into a VM over NBD then updating the system since UFS was apparently fixed in some cumulative update. However, this shit also requires 4K sectors and all QEMU disk emulation options hardcode 512.
