Hello, i have a bootable win 10 stick now, when i boot from it, it takes me to win 10 setup.

i choose custom: advance install, and it says i cant install it on my drive cuz it says meh drive has to be formatted as nfts for me to install it! i have linux(Mint rosa) installed already which is why it says that. buttt, it gives me the option to delete the fat partition, what will that do? how can i fix dis problem??

I WANT MY WINDOWS 10!

NOTE: i dont really now that much about software issues, so stay with me: i dont want nasty comments saying that i dont know anything..!(Cuz i dont )

If you don't want to overwrite your Mint install then you'll have to create a separate partition that you can format as NTFS.

In addition, Windows usually overwrites your bootloader so you may have to do a grub recovery after installation in order to be able to choose between operating systems at boot.

It's a free upgrade if you have 7 or 8/8.1, otherwise no.

I want to wipe every thing and install windows. not to mention my drive is only 30 GB.

(I DID back up my stuff )

If you install it without a key it gives you a 30 day 'trial'.
