I've got an old Win10 installation USB installation media. It's a pretty nice USB stick and I would like to reuse it, but no matter how I try to mount it, it always shows as read-only. I guess Microsoft must have put some sort of write protection on their installation media (maybe so that unexperienced users would not accidentally delete imporant files?).
I, however, want to write to it, how can I "unlock" in Linux? I hope that the protection is just a software switch, but is there a way to confirm that it is not locked at the hardware level?
