[SOLVED] Cannot uninstall Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon and install Windows 10

[unknown16]

I downloaded Windows iso file from Microsoft site and copied it to USB drive via this command:

Code: Select all

sudo dd bs=4M if=/home/revolver/Desktop/Win10_21H1_EnglishInternational_x64.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync

However, when I press ESC on boot, then select F9 for boot device options and select my pendrive, it boots into GNU GRUB v.2.04 with "Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon" and "Advanced options for Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon" options. How can I boot into Windows Setup? My laptop model is HP EliteBook 8570p and running on legacy mode.

Won't work. MS changed their iso format sometime ago. This is one of several guides on the web:

A few people here on the forum use ventoy and have good things to say about it.

Changed in BIOS settings from Legacy to UEFI Native without Secureboot and looks like it's working. Many thanks!

Interesting, article here by the rufus dev explaining why standard linux image writers won't work:

So I would have expected problems with dd. Can you report back when done.
