Asus laptop Pre-installed with Linux OS. How do I install windows 10?!
Right. I bought this laptop, the spec is decent and the price was cheap. I realized it was so cheap because it didn't have a windows OS installed on it. I thought "That's fine, you're decent when it comes to computers. Just buy windows 10 and install it yourself!". No. Just no. I can't get the laptop to install windows 10 OS. (It's on a USB drive)
It has some kind of Linux UI already installed but I'd hardly call it an OS. When the laptop loads it resembles a bios and you have to enter Linux codes in order to do anything.
I'm really struggling to refrain from smashing the laptop to bits. I've gone into the bios and on the boot menu it's set to UEFI with secure boot enabled. I've managed to disable secure boot but it still won't load the windows 10 USB. I've changed it from UEFI to Legacy mode and although it will now load the USB, it doesn't install the OS. It just comes up with a massage saying to do it again but after about 5 tries it still won't work.
I've read it might be because of the GTP partitions but I've no idea what these are.
Also, I've tried to delete all the Linux partitions through the Linux UI but the fdisk functions seem to be different for me when compared with all the tutorials online.
Can anyone help?!?
Thanks a million if you can!
