Wouldn't a Windows forum be more appropriate if what you want is to install Windows?
I mean, you wouldn't ask in a NetBSD forum how to install Mac OS, would you?

I'm using Bullseye and when i'm in terminal i enter sudo apt install git p7zip-full python3-pip python3-wxgtk4.0
it wants a password and i set the password to p and it doesn't work

p@p:~$ sudo apt install git p7zip-full python3-pip python3-wxgtk4.0
[sudo] password for p:
p is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

This is wandering off the topic of this thread...

Become Root by putting in a Terminal: su -
(note the hyphen)

then

Code: Select all

apt-get install sudo
then

Code: Select all

usermod -a -G sudo <username>
(replace <username> with your username)

Logout & Login to get sudo access

But why do you need to install git p7zip-full python3-pip python3-wxgtk4.0 ??
You probably just have to download the Windows ISO image and copy it to a USB stick.

Just do it from some other computer (or ask a friend), if you're not even in a position to get root in Debian. You will only make everything more complicated than you need.

You need to download and create the installation media from another Windows computer:

Once you've done that, boot from the USB stick and install.

To watch Netflix it should work ...
In the privacy settings in firefox (about:preferences#privacy) ( Firefox settings) you can use the searchbar to find
something called DRM . Maybe it's not enabled.

I managed to burn a Windows 10 ISO image from Linux recently using WoeUSB. It should also be possible to create a workable image manually but I lost patience and gave up.
