Hi everyone im not a tech nerd and dont know a lot of the terms so this is hard to explain but please try to help me anyways, i dont want to lose my laptop
I switched to linux a few months ago, not dual boot. Just a full linux install (mint) ive decided its not for me and wanted to switch back to windows.
So i took my usb that had the mint installation and tried to clear it(something mustve gone wrong i think) and put my windows iso on the usb. (Theres a few partions on it but it wont let me delete them and i dont even know what they are)
Downloaded ventoy (i think thats the name) because i followed a tutorial and thats what it said.
So i start up my laptop again and try to install windows. It fails, tried a few diffrent things to get it to fix, disabling the secure boot, installing right from the windows installation menu. I lost track of what i did and just kept shutting of my laptop and starting again.
Now im stuck in the ventoy menu, i can exit and enter the lenovo menu too. But i cant do anything else, the install fails everytime and i cant enter linux again.
What did i do wrong and what should i do to just install windows
