I have a USB flash drive with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, I want to completely wipe my machine of Windows 10 and start again with a new install of Ubuntu.
I have installed Ubuntu on a laptop PC but the old Windows 10 installation is still causing me issues, and now I can't boot into Ubuntu again (after some sort of Ubuntu EFI update for Dell XPS). I may have screwed the pooch by removing some of the old filesystems via gparted, as I combined all partitions into a data partition that I mounted successfully, but after that update the restart resulted in a reboot quagmire.
At this point, I assume it may be easiest to just completely wipe the system clean and install Ubuntu as the only OS. I would like to remove all vestiges of Windows as I do not need a dual boot. I have not found an easy way to do this, and installing Ubuntu using the option to erase all old partitions didn't get me out of the woods, as I am now getting a "Dell Support Assist" screen when I boot that runs a memory check and then gets me into an all blue screen with no further progress.
The machine is a Dell XPS 15 9570.
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
