Install and boot options [Solved]

[ProwlerGr]

Maybe easier is you give Q4OS a spin
https://q4os.org/dqa014.html
I creates an ext4 image on your Windows partition allowing you to dual boot, without requiring repartitioning.

Q4OS is also Debian based so it might be easy to convert to MX with tweaking the sources.list (I haven't tried this).

I failed in all methods. Unfortunately, I have not mastered it yet, but at this time I do not have to master it, although it is necessary for me, as I urgently need a computer and I am busy, as I suffer from cancer. I found 2GB removable memory. It is like a miracle that suddenly appeared and the system cannot be written to it due to a size problem. A method was used to take advantage of its existence, and it works and is simpler and easier. I'm thinking of coming back here if the installation on a hard drive partition is successful. I do not know whether this topic should be closed and completed later, or republished at another time as a reference for everyone to benefit, or what should be done. I must ask one of the moderators for advice before I thank you all. Please know and follow the attached status updates. I love all members. You are amazing, even those who I have inadvertently angered with the excruciatingly poor performance of my computer.
