I think this will work on your system based on the other posts. Use windows disk manager to shrink the window C drive, Create a new volume at least 4G formatted fat32. Copy the contents of the fedora iso to the new volume. Reboot use the "boot from file menu" to locate the new volume efi/boot/grubx64.efi. boot file.
I did it and it goes to the boot menu then a blank menu with a white underscore on the top left hand corner.
yes, This will work for fedora and slackware and most distro. I think you can also use the iso loop method of post 40, change the (hd0,1) to match the new partition.

It will be slow loading, give it a few minutes before giving up.

I let it load and it went into this weird loop and failure to load something. What should I do exactly from post 40 With hd0,1? Is hd0,1 what I need to load fedora?
https://ibb.co/cLbSX8C it's in emergency mode, Exit the to shell to continue , I can view journalctl for logs and press enter for maintenance or control d to continue when I click control d then warning not all disk have been found, no USB is in btw , and I get ": you might want to regenerate your initramfs
I was doing some testing,
either edit the grub.cfg or at the grub menu press e for edit and change the root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-Cinn...to root=live:/dev/sda? where the ? is the number of the extracted iso partition number

How do I figure out what ? Is exactly and what and where is the vmz... Linkux thingy? Idk what exactly I can do with only a grub menu because idk what grub really is so idk what to do to find the things you want. I booted into windows and I know I can edit the grub.cfg file but I don't know what sda # it is exactly. How would this fix the issue? I need a better grounding in operating systems. I'm obviously not as smart as you but I'm learning.
In the installer it's saying there is no SSD LOL. I can barely see though because the screen is constantly flickering on and off from the os to black and in-between
