I have a hardrive with Ubuntu on it but Ubuntu is having some serious errors so I decide to change to windows 10 I bought windows 10 from Microsoft and put it on a usb. Plugged in the USB. I went to BIOS and changed the boot order to SanDisk drive (my USB) as priority yet it still goes straight to Ubuntu. How can I get windows 10 now?

  • It's easier to fix Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution) than Windows. Please explain the actual problem.

You cannot simply copy Windows 10 to an USB and boot it up as normal. It doesn’t work that way.

Instead, you have to make a bootable USB drive with several software, such as Windows Media Creation tool or Rufus. Without a bootable USB drive, your computer will skip your USB and start to boot from your hard drive as it’s the second one.
