    The simplest is 7-Zip. Enable “encrypt file names” in encryption options. Where you need to upload multiple separate folders, it's often more manageable than vault types, such as Cryptomator. Especially when manually uploading. Source: 10 months ago
  • Error while booting windows 11 computer with windows 10 USB boot made with rufus
    At any rate, from the data you provided, it does look like efi\boot\bootx64.efi is missing from the NTFS partition on your media, so you need to validate that this file was both present on the source ISO (you can try mounting the ISO on Windows or open the .iso file with an application like 7-zip to look at its content) and that you don't have something like an AntiVirus solution that may have decided to remove it...

    Are you downloading/installing directly on the Deck in desktop mode or on another machine and transferring files via USB/uSD?

If you're doing it on another machine, install this tool: https://7-zip.org/ then do basically the same thing. Source: 11 months ago
