I have a problem when I try to install windows on my second hard disk.

I'm using a pc portable and Actually Ubuntu 22.04.2 on my first hard disk but I have also Ubuntu on my second hard disk. To install windows I have an external hard-disk Seagate 2tb. I've tried to read other questions but they are incomplete or difficult (for me) to understand.

I have actually downloaded the windows.iso but when I try to copy it on the hard disk I receive an error message telling me: Error splicing file: File too large1

I ask you please to write to me all the steps that I have to do, I need them to work and I have a lot to do.

if possible i would like to do:

  1. remove Ubuntu from second hard-disk
  2. install windows 10 on my second hard-disk (indicate to me the best win key to buy)
  3. have Ubuntu on my first Account
  4. Have the possibility to choose which account I can run at the start

secondary importance: 5. Solving that error message that doesn't let me update (sudo apt-get update)

  • You need the "Windows 10 Media Creation Tool". You can find it on the search engine of your choice. Before you have to format the installation media as FAT32. Not NTFS and also not exFAT.

  • @zomega Outdated. As of now, for UEFI mode only, users can simply extract the ISO to a 8GB+ flash drive formatted as NTFS or exFAT, not FAT32. And even when "burning" the ISO the file system of the target drive, as long as recognized by the OS and made available, is irrelevant becauzse it'll be replace by the ISO9660.

  • @kevin You're asking about a trivial dual-boot which is very well documented. That said, the incorrect terminology you used suggests you aren't familiar with a Windows installation, UEFI mode and its requirements, or with partitioning, all of this being fundamental to do it successfully. I suggest you start reading askubuntu.com/questions/221835/… which is the other way around (Windows installed first) but the same concepts apply.

  • @ChanganAuto Are you sure? I think many UEFI firmwares can only read FAT32 but not exFAT nor NTFS.
