Where to get Windows 10 iso

Hello,

I"m trying to make a nice USB-stick, with a Windows 10 ISO file on it. But where do I get that ISO file? I'm not looking for the tool which makes your USB-stick a bootable one. I'm looking for the actual ISO file

Quotation marks

Are there any standards for single/double quotation marks in all the different programming languages? What matters to me right now is Python. Should I use 'single quotation marks' or "double quotation marks" for the strings?

Thank you

Moving mouse cursor with keyboard

What I would like to do is to register a couple of shortcuts to move the mouse cursor. The cursor should jump from the one square area of the screen to the other. The question that comes to mind first is: which keys are not used (or at least not often) so they can be used for this purpose? Of course, the arrow keys stand out as good candidates.

Anybody out there who can enlighten me? Thanks

Transferring browser tabs

Hello.

I've got a couple of browsers installed and I have a question about that:

Is it possible to transfer a tab from the one browser to the other? Let's say: from AVG Secure Browser to Opera?

I don't really prefer the one browser above the other. Maybe I will grow something like that.

We need browsers.

Thanks, greetings, Leon

Linux doesn’t run

When I boot into linux (Ubuntu, I'm not sure which version, a recent one) I get this error:

"
Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact a system administrator.
"

I understand that I should boot from a DVD or USB-stick. But that doesn't work so well on this machine, it's an old one. Let me say, I'm going to try all that soon.

Unable to access external HD

I'm trying to save something on my external HD, but I get this error:

Unable to access "TOSHIBA EXT"

Not authorized to perform operation (polkit authority not available and caller is not uid 0)

I made a snapshot of the error window, but that doesn't go to well either. I would say, this is enough information to help me out. If not, we'll see later.

I use Ubuntu 20.10

Shortcut to character accents

Hello. I'm new to the whole Linux thing and I have something for a topic.

In Windows you can produce characters with accents via a shortcut. For example: " followed by e brings forth . I miss this in Linux. Somebody told me that I should ask for help writing software by myself to make this possible. That's why I opened this topic.

I'm not very experienced with programming. The only thing I ever did is creating a game. It's not even finished. I have a Github account.

I'm hoping to meet someone who gets me through this.

Thanks,

Leon
