having trouble booting into a bootable windows 10 installation usb drive from ubuntu

[brochacho]

so about 2 weeks ago I wiped my ssd and installed ubuntu on it. After using this distro for this period of time, while enjoyable, I still think windows fits my needs better.

So I made a bootable usb stick to install windows 10 and wipe ubuntu out of the computer. But I am having trouble doing this.

I have changed the boot modes, changed the boot order and selected the boot option to make it boot from the usb, but I always either get a black and white dos like screen that after a while says that the drive does not have an operating system or it appears that I have suceeded, the screen goes black for a few seconds and it boots me back to ubuntu.

Im using ubuntu 20.04, and if anyone is capable of helping me I'd really apreciate it! 😀

Hi,

Did you create the USB drive using the media creation tool from Microsoft?

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Let me know,

I downloaded the iso from that page but I used the ubuntu native tool that makes the usb stick flash that iso (i think, im not a computer guy so im not sure 😥)

Can you make the USB drive on another Windows machine using the media creation tool? There is explanation on Microsoft page on how to create the drive.

Regards,

David
