Putting up Windows on Linode
For the last couple of days, I have been trying to configure a Linode to take up a Windows 10 installation. I’m not quite technical but was following a guide here published on that. The guide I used is a bit outdated as the dashboard doesn’t exactly look the way it was then https://github.com/only-cliches/docs/blob/windows-on-linode/docs/tools-reference/windows-on-linode/installing-windows-on-linode-vps.md
After following all that to the letter, my installation is failing at reboot where it says that no bootable device. After doing this over some time, I am now almost quitting.
The other problem is data. The image of this install is quite huge at 25GB and doing it again and again is time consuming and depleting my data plan. Any workaround about this would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't tried running Windows on a Linode, so I can't speak from first-hand experience.
