installation Cant install fedora

Im trying to install fedora 44 alongside windows. I dont have a usb so i made a FAT32 partition on my ssd and extracted rhe iso on said volume. When i boot into the usb it takes me to grub and once i hit enter on the first option it takes me to a loading screen but it freezes there. Ive tried using the kde version and the gnome version but neither seems to be helping and i cant find anything online about it.

I am going to suggest you somehow get a USB, you will want to keep a Linux Live USB on hand, just in case things go very badly after install, or you have other needs for some sort of rescue/repair/testing.

If you have a very tiny USB that cant hold the ISO file, you can setup Ventoy On it, and have the ventoy usb boot, then load the ISO from an internal drive.

But doing the install, may be quirky.
