    I've been trying to install Windows 10 on a Thinkpad R60 for two weeks and went through several tutorials on how to create a bootable ISO on Linux/Debian 9. This one finally seemed to work (i.e. without running into any trouble in between):

    Unfortunately, the laptop won't boot the ISO. I already set the boot order in BIOS to check for external USB drives first. What am I missing?

      With an R60, you unfortunately do not have UEFI. The guide looks good though. Can you describe (in your question) what happens after selecting your USB drive in the boot selection menu?

      I had wiped the laptop HDD, so after power up I got to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Problem solved, see below :)
