I am new to downloading operating systems if anyone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong please tell me, also has this happened to anyone else?

you do not write the ISO to the drive directly, you need to write it to a USB storage device that you then boot the installer from

Is there any way to do it without a USB storage device

nope

anything USB should work, including an SD card in a USB adapter or a USB hard drive. keep in mind that writing the installer to the device will delete any files that are already on the device

I am going to get a HHD soon will that work?

a HDD? if it’s an external HDD that connects with USB, yes

Ok I will try this when I get it

as an unsolicited suggestion, you may find Fedora Media Writer to be easier to use than Rufus for writing the ISO to the device

I think I am having a similiar issue. I created a bootable USB drive with the Bazzite ISO loaded onto it with rufus. I then booted my laptop with that USB drive, and I am in the KSE desktop. I want to try Linux again, and also check out how game playing is on Linux, SO FOR KNOW, I was planning on using a USB3.2 external drive with a M2 NME drive in it. So, now that I am in KSE desktop on the laptop, I click on the Install to Hard Drive icon as I don't see any other option for installation. I get a message about Bitlocker being detected, etc, and that is as far as I can go. I can see the 1TB M2 drive as /dev/sdb. I just don't see a way of telling KSE to install to that instead of /dev/sda
