Hello,

I just got a computer with Kubuntu installed. I would like to uninstall it to reinstall Windows 11 Home, the PC's native OS (I have access to the email where the license is registered). I have no idea how to do it. Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance! :)

    Hello,

    You can use the link to download the Windows ISO to create a USB Drive (minimum 8GB) to reinstall Windows.

    https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows11

    When you have the Windows ISO file, you can create your USB drive with Rufus for Windows in GPT mode.

    https://rufus.ie/en/

    Or with Ventoy for Linux, also in GPT mode, and place the ISO on the drive afterwards.

    https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html

    Boot from the USB drive using the PC's Boot Menu key.

    https://www.malekal.com/liste-touches-acces-bios-boot-menu-constructeur/

    You can search on Google "[Brand Model] Boot Menu Key."

    Choose "Custom installation" (Not upgrade).

    Delete all system partitions and create a new one (this will delete the data).

    You won't need a license or email address, the license is recognized in the BIOS.

    As a bonus:
