EDIT: Ahh dang, it looks like the RPi that came from Serda's shop doesn't have the WiFi module. Other than installing Linux on my machine, does anyone have ideas for accessing the .img files?

The easiest way (in my opinion) would be to use VirtualBox and get a pre-made linux VHD from OSBoxes, passthrough your SD card reader to the guest machine and then mount the img file as an ext4 folder

It seems WSL2 allows mounting EXT4 in Win11:

Alternatively you can use any of a gazillion Linux live distros out there to do the job.

Seems like it doesn't support USB drives, card readers or mounting from .img files

So I downloaded VirtualBox and tried mounting the .img files.

Apparently these img files are RPi kernel boot files and don't actually contain any files or filesystem.

I am confused because I can't locate the MUNT files or code. Has it been obfuscated into a .bin file or something?
