So, I just picked up a laptop that comes with Linux pre-installed, but honestly, I’d much rather just wipe it and get Windows on there instead. Just a heads-up, since this thing doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, I've set it up to boot from a USB external hard drive. I could really use some help getting this sorted out, especially since this is my very first time ever dealing with Linux.
Thanks a ton

Thanks a lot

It’s basically the same situation as having a machine with free DOS. You just need to adjust the boot priority in the BIOS and then kick off the installation from your USB. Obviously, the USB drive has to be bootable.

Don't touch Linuxxxxxx 😁

Look, since you're already going all in on this... there’s really no need to move anything around. You just run a clean installation from a USB drive and call it a day. There are plenty of tutorials floating around the web if you need them.
