Remove Linux Mint and Install Windows using flash drive

[@brycenhasacat9582]

POV: You stumble across a video telling you how to switch from windows 10 to linux EASY, you are told of the benefits such as lower cpu and ram. Once you download linux you realize that its incredibly hard to download anything and your wifi won’t work so you struggle to find a solution for hours before finally throwing in the towel and watching this video

Literally me. I was promised a haven of "freedom" and less ram usage blabla bla linux isn't hard. It's moving on from windows that is hard. What a load of bs. Took me literally more than 2 days to learn and setup linux and i was greeted with the inability to access any of my drives. After hours of searching asking questions on the forum and either not getting the answer i wanted or getting called stupid. I can say it's safe to say if you're someone who isn't into computers. Do not use linux. You're wasting your time literally because of how long it is to setup anything

Try pressing some special key such as F10, Del, Esc, etc. to load the boot menu. The choose usb as first boot device.

​@@TechSolvePrac i did choose USB Device, but it just ignores it and goes straight into Linux.

[@TechSolvePrac]

First you need to ensure that your flash drive is made Bootable properly. Check if windows installation files are written on it and size of the flash drive is around 6.2 GB. Second, you need to ensure that you are able to boot from flash drive. Enter BIOS, Turn off secure boot, Enable boot from USB option, Save settings, Restart, Display boot menu, boot from USB, Install Windows and turn On secure boot again.

[@Darkns]

@@TechSolvePrac I checked and there is setup.exe and other big files for Windows 10 installation (Total size is 5.8GB), and for the BIOS, I turn off PC and then press ESC (because thats how you get to the BIOS Boot options) and then I choose the USB and it still goes directly to Linux

You need to press a function or other special key (Del, Esc, F10, F2, etc..) to enter bios as soon as systen is power on. Generally the choice is briefly flashed on screen when the computer powers on

Sir, thanks for your guide, but can i ask you a few questions? 1. I already have the bootable windows 10 usb stick from my friend, what should i do next? 2. How can i enter this mode (5:08) if my pc is DELL pc? thanks for answering

[@TechSolvePrac]

You need to boot from the flash drive. You need to press a function or other special key (Del, Esc, F10, F2, etc..) to enter bios as soon as systen is power on. Generally the choice is briefly flashed on screen when the computer powers on. Enter BIOS/ UEFI setup, turn off secure boot, enable boot from usb option, save settings, restart. Press some function key again to display boot menu (F9, F12, etc...) to display boot menu, boot from usb, install windows and turn on secure boot again. The function keys are different on different make and model of computers, the required key is generally displayed when system boots. If still not booting then try "Enable legacy boot" option then try again.

These settings are provided under different options or menus in BIOS setup by different computer vendors. You need to enter BIOS setup and search for these options carefully.

I like your method, but don't want to delete Mint. I'd only use Windows for a few occasional purposes. I'd prefer using Windows 7 Ultimate, due to size and simplicity. I have an ISO file & supposedly good number for it. I can't get the install to run right though... yet. I have an MSI B550M MoBo and an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU. I already have Mint running in one partition on an M.2 SSD. Mint is my main OS. I want to put Windows on a 2nd partition on the SSD. The data both will use is on a separate HDD formatted in NTFS. It appears if I install Windows onto a 2nd partition on the SSD I could dual-boot into it, though Grub might have to be changed by something like EasyBSD.exe under Windows. What say you, sir?

[@TechSolvePrac]

You are absolutely right ans you can absolutely install Windows over Linux Mint in dual boot mode followed by repairing grub. I have created a separate video for that process. You can have a look at that video for going through the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6DIl2VrorSMhtU

Please check if your flash drive was properly created as windows bootable.

@@sameeryadav6910 First you need to ensure that your flash drive is made Bootable properly. Check if windows installation files are written on it and size of the flash drive is around 6.2 GB.

[@TechSolvePrac]

@@sameeryadav6910 Second, you need to ensure that you are able to boot from flash drive. Enter BIOS, Turn off secure boot, Enable boot from USB option, Save settings, Restart, Display boot menu, boot from USB, Install Windows and turn On secure boot again.

“ windows cannot install required files “ make sure the usb is formatted for gpt not mbr. use rufus will show those options - gpt or mbr

Had to install mkusb to boot windows installer. If your windows installation manager doesn't boot, search on youtube - How to boot windows pendrive on ubuntu or something like that

Is this method applicable for installing windows 7? I'm currently using an older laptop and I think windows 8 or 10 may not be available for my system.

[@TechSolvePrac]

Yes the method can be used for installing windows 7 as well.

Can I do it to a seperate drive on my pc except for doing it with a usb?With my other drive resulting in dual boot?

No. You need an external USB only for the process.

When I'm in the bios the option boot from a drive doesn't show

[@TechSolvePrac]

There must be a option to boot from usb. Explore the setup. The options are different for each manufacturer.

[@ayanahampton1481]

I did this process over 15 times and it still did not work. I can not get to the boot screen. When I did it kept saying unable to recognize device remove and put back in. Also not sure if I should be using f10 or f12. I tried both and still get nothing. All I want to do is be able to connect to my internet wireless without having to plug directly into the modem. Is there a way to do this without installing windows. This is too frustrating.

[@TechSolvePrac]

You can connect to wifi in Linux Mint also. Check there must be a button in your laptop keyboard or in side ways to turn on wifi. Then it will be visible in task bar to connect to the available wifi connections.

I've tryed this and my command for the password root or mint wont work what else could it be please help

[@Hellobeing920]

What did you press to get the menu after restart.......please tell 🙏

[@TechSolvePrac]

You need to press a function or other special key (Del, Esc, F10, F2, etc..) to enter bios as soon as systen is power on. Generally the choice is briefly flashed on screen when the computer powers on

Waht i see on it uefi boot options and yes i did have linux mint on before I install windows on the usb

[@TechSolvePrac]

You need to boot from the flash drive. You need to press a function or other special key (Del, Esc, F10, F2, etc..) to enter bios as soon as systen is power on. Generally the choice is briefly flashed on screen when the computer powers on. Enter BIOS/ UEFI setup, turn off secure boot, enable boot from usb option, save settings, restart. Press some function key again to display boot menu (F9, F12, etc...) to display boot menu, boot from usb, install windows and turn on secure boot again. The function keys are different on different make and model of computers, the required key is generally displayed when system boots. If still not booting then try "Enable legacy boot" option then try again.
