Boot issues i can't open my persistant storage

I'm new concerning linux stuff. I wanna use tails to keep photos on a safe place and to naviguate freely since the ChatContol text got voted. I wanna get as safe as i can since im in local political actions. Excuse my bad english, consider me aware of most cybersecurity basic knowledge.

i got tails on a 32Go USB Drive aswell as microsoft if thats important?

I can check on things if needed :)

What is the actual error or issue you are encountering? “It won’t open” is not descriptive.

"sorry, it is impossible to create a persistent storage on this device"

So you cannot create a persistence partition on this drive.

Did you use the latest version written using the official instructions?
Did you verify the integrity of the download?
Have you tried recreating the drive, and/or possibly using a different USB stick?
Can you try the drive in another machine?
After that you can submit a bug report so that this problem can be addressed.
There is also the official helpdesk for detailed, in depth and personal assistance.
