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.– BiswapriyoCommented Feb 21, 2020 at 6:56

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.
