Question
How do I upload and use a custom image if Windows images are not supported?
When I upload a custom image in .raw format from my Windows PC to be used as an icon for my project I get an error,
We don't support the format of your image. Please try again with a supported image format (raw, qcow2, vdi, vhdx, or vmdk).
On Digital Ocean’s custom image page they write, Windows images are not supported.
I’m using CentOS 8. Unfortunately I’m not experienced with Linux and so I’m not sure what steps I need to take to get around this. How do I turn a .png or .raw file on my PC into a format that works on Linux?
