    How to replace Linux Mint with Windows 7 Ultimate


    I dont have a disk, but I have the ISO on a USB stick, with a key. Any idea on how to do this?

    You have to put/burn the iso file of Windows 7 Ultimate onto the stick with a program like Rufus.

    You just can`t have the iso file on the stick, it won`t be bootable.

    The just clean install windows.

    Rufus won't work on the Linux OS he'll have to to find a program on mint that will create a bootable Windows ISO on a usb stick. Not any program will work as I've been down this road once before.

    Here's one you can read for the Mint OS

    He doesn`t have to create the installer on Linux

    His specs say he`s running Ultimate.

    Boot from the installer to run the clean command on the target disk, this will wipe any linux code.
