I am starting to modernize an older app and sadly it is using react 16. But I want to rewrite the admin to use inertia and according to the package.json it should support it

But I am getting an error whenever I click on a <Link>

I just return a link directly so there is no extra stuff

return <Link href="/admin">CLICK ME</Link>

I get this error on click

The only "big" change I had to make was how I use react dom

createInertiaApp({
    resolve: name => require(`./Pages/${name}`),
    setup({el, App, props}) {
        ReactDom.render(<App {...props} />, el) //instead of createRoot()
    },
})
</div>

I upgraded to react 17 just to test it and it works. So perhaps I would be a good idea to remove 16.9 from package.json
