How would someone do this, I tried and it needs to boot from the drive I wrote it to, I can’t just install it on the hard drive somehow. Isn’t there a boot disc for this or something?
So this answers my question in your other topic.
Have you seen/tried this: Installation - Home Assistant → Generic x86-64 - Home Assistant ?

2 methods I know of
1 - easiest IMO. Create a Ubuntu USB drive that you can boot to (not installed on internal SSD. Go I to BIOS, disable secure boot, set to always power on after power failure and make sure USB is ahead of the internal SSD so it boots to Ubuntu (or hit F10 to bring up the boot device menu). Once booted write the generic x86 home assistant image to the internal drive. Reboot or shutdown and make sure to take out the USB drive or go into BIOS and set internal drive first as boot drive
2 - take SSD out and write image using a USB adapter. This is super easy if your comfortable with replacing an SSD/nvme drive AND.own an adapter. If you don’t I’m going to adapters in the first option is your best bet
