How do I install Windows from a Linux OS.

I have this laptop that I bought with Windows already on it. I was trying to put a second OS on it but instead I completely replaced Windows with Debian. Now I'd like to switch back but when I boot from USB to install windows I get an error saying I'm missing a driver. I suppose I will have to run this Windows 11 Installation Assistant from a Windows computer?

    No, you simply make a proper working bootable Windows installer usb while in Linux from Windows iso, boot it, and install Windows. That's it lol.

    Some people do have crazy Intel hardware that doesn't have a compatible driver out of the box with Windows so for those people a driver might be required during Windows installation for it to work.

    Either way, its totally best to figure out how to install Windows before messing around with Linux. Linux is a whole lot more complicated despite some people Linux suggesting it isn't. Proper understanding of Linux and dealing with things will blow past this. It blows the doors off this.
