Switching Back to windows

Posted by Accomplished_Emu_146@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 7 comments

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well.

Im having trouble switching back to windows after installing Ubuntu. I had switched to Ubuntu after updating my computer from Win 10 to Win 11, and it was giving major problems. When playing videogames or using blender, after like 30 minutes my entire computer would begin to lag real bad, im talking like 5 fps through out the entire System except the mouse for some reason, the mouse moved around the screen like butter.

Anyway, I just want to switch back to windows, I tried to install it the regular way via usb but none of my storage devices are recognized when in the windows set up screen.

Im not too knowledgeable about this stuff and I want windows 10 back as I barely have time throughout the day and I just want my computer to work with the applications I use.

Thanks in advance. Also sorry if this is posted with the wrong tag.

Thank you guys for the quick responses, I did not have time since yesterday to try your suggestions, I had to reformat the ssd so windows could see it.

Thanks!

Windows can't read not NTFS or dos file systems, I think. You'll need to move your files off of the drives and reformat them and then move them back after Windows is installed

Yup this did it!, At first I thought it was the windows rapid storage driver that wasn't installed. I had to remove my ssd from my laptop and transfer it to my sister's laptop where I could reformat it.

Thanks!
