1. You may have just deleted the Windows system partition. 2. If you were actually booting from the Windows installation media no Grub related errors would be shown, ever! The problem is you AREN'T booting from the USB for whatever reason (maybe you should ask about that?). And in any case, in proper UEFI mode, all it takes after removing one OS is to open UEFI settings > Boot menu and change the boot order / OS selection to the other, in this case, "Windows bootloader manager".– ChanganAutoCommented Nov 27, 2023 at 18:07

Why would it be booting from something other than the windows usb if I had all other options disabled in bios? Maybe I have a faulty USB stick? I should also clarify I'm using legacy boot mode.– JimmyCommented Nov 27, 2023 at 18:19

Maybe because it isnt bootable? This is the #1 mistake... How exactly have you made it? If you're using Legacy in a UEFI machine, any from ~2012 or newer then there's exactly where you're `problems start. Right now you indeed need to boot Windows Installation media and follow instructions to repair the bootloader.– ChanganAutoCommented Nov 27, 2023 at 18:22

I used the windows 10 media creation tool to create an iso file on another computer and put the iso onto a USB, but now that I think about it, I might have been supposed to use rufus– JimmyCommented Nov 27, 2023 at 18:24

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
