Removing Ubuntu and installing Windows 10 Pro on Dell Latitude 5590

If your pre-installed Windows OEM licence is for the Pro version, then that is the version that will be installed.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

To remove Ubuntu, you will need to create a bootable Windows 10 USB on another working PC, then boot your laptop form the USB, delete all partitions on the drive and clean install Windows 10 using the USB.

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool

Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS) to begin installing Windows 10

During the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 10 on this PC' and skip the steps to insert a product key.

If your laptop has an 8th gen Intel processor, it will be Windows 11 compatible, so you will be able to perform the free upgrade to Windows 11.

Windows 11 requirements.

The processor requirement is the most restrictive; supported processors include 8th-generation and newer Intel Core processors as well as AMD Ryzen 2000-series processors and newer. These are all chips that launched in late 2017 and early 2018. Older computers can't officially run Windows 11.

Be sure your computer meets all requirements.

Will the laptop install Windows 10 or Windows 10 Pro?

Hello. The Ubuntu fourms would be a good place to put this question.

Depending on if you installed Ubuntu and formatted your whole hard drive as ext2/3/4 It may be a bigger task to deal with. You can build a dual boot system within grub but your question is to reinstall Windows.

I did this before but I did not have a Windows 10 Pro version only Windows 10 Home.

I used etcher to make a bootable USB recovery drive and had to format my hard drive and reboot from the USBdisk then reboot again then format the hdd then power off PC and boot into the Windows installer and format the hdd with Windows installer and install Windows. Windows installers like the disk to be formatted as ntfs or fat32 to start. You should beable too see if Windows is still on the disk with the tool G-parted. sudo gparted If not installed sudo apt-get install gparted.

I do know Ubuntu very well but once again the best persons to ask is on the Ubuntu fourms @ Ask Ubuntu
