You've set up Linux but can't boot Windows. You're wondering if restoring your old Windows files and games would work, or if you should start fresh with a new Windows installation.

Did you choose your Windows storage device when setting up Linux? If yes, it likely erased the existing drive and replaced it with Linux. Unless you installed it on a separate partition, all your files probably vanished—though a recovery tool might help in some cases.

Setting up another operating system on top of Windows without the right steps results in losing the entire Windows installation and all information stored on the hard drive.

I just replayed that video again! I saved the ISO of Linux and opened it using RAR. When I moved my files, a Windows app popped up (I think I messed up earlier, probably didn’t remember). It asked which file format to use for my PC, and I selected Linux. Can I install Windows on my Linux machine and run it? Even if it causes problems, I don’t mind.

You're asking about the installation process and confirming whether Linux is set up correctly. It seems you want clarification on how the system was configured. Regarding your questions, yes, you can download an ISO and install Linux directly, but using a USB stick is common for that purpose. If you already have Linux running, you can create a bootable USB with Windows and switch to it. As for checking if Linux is installed, it depends on the distro—Ubuntu, Mint, or Fedora each have different signs and configurations.

I don't recall sharing the details with you; feel free to call me for assistance with STP installation links. :-) Is the system corrupted?

The operating system that appears when you power on the computer varies depending on your setup. It typically displays a login screen or desktop environment based on the installed OS.

It seems Kali Linux was installed on your system, possibly erasing your existing drive and replacing it with a fresh Windows setup. To restore Windows, follow these steps: 1. Visit the official Microsoft download page for Windows 10. 2. Obtain the 64-bit ISO file. 3. Prepare a USB drive you’re comfortable wiping. 4. Use Etcher to flash the Windows ISO onto the USB. 5. Insert the USB, power off your PC, then turn it back on. 6. Launch the installer and complete the installation from the USB.
