Intalling windows 10 from Fedora Linux - Don't want Fedora anymore

[Brandon Culpepper]

Hello I'm Brandon,
I'm sure there is posts online about how to do this. I can't find straight forward
links or step by steps on how to get rid of Fedora 21 and install Windows OS instead. I
don't want to dual boot or anything like that. I'm not familiar with Terminal
inputs or anything like that. I've called microsoft, Geek Squad, even Staples lol. Do
I have to delete linux first then try installing windows via usb or Disc? How do I go
about deleting Fedora 21? Remember I'm not familiar with the functionality of this OS
at all. Thank you for any help you can give!

one!!! Fool!! Another one bite the dust!!!

Brandon,

      I work with Windows 7 quite a bit, and I've had to do this at 
home, unfortunately. Use the Windows installation disc to perform a 
custom install. It should detect all physical disks present. When you 
see the display of all disks, click each disk or partition and click 
Delete. That'll delete the partition/disk. Keep doing so until you have 
at least 20 GB free. Then, you can choose the free space to install Windows.

Hope this helps,

Dexter

You should be able do the Windows install from a n usb or dis, and the
installation program will ask you about removing partitions and
formatting the disk. At that point select the option/s to completely
delete all partitions on the disk. The installer should then delete
old, create new and proceed.
