Can't wait for the virus that uses this to replace a windows install with a Linux install that's riced to look like windows. Will the normies even notice?

always thought it would be fairly simple to have a Windows program that setup a temporary boot to a Linux ISO that gets stored to RAM. (So that the drive can be wiped for install as needed) Debian based distro ISOs (or maybe just Ubuntu idk) load to RAM with "toram" kernel parameter.

Repartitioning is only the first step. How do you add a boot entry?

I used some chinese partition tool to rearrange my partitions years ago that did this. It was sketchy as fuck but it worked where I couldn't find another tool that would do what I needed. Can't remember exactly what the problem was but something to do with moving/extending the windows partition that the usual ones I knew of wouldn't do.
