My father installed Linux on my brother's laptop and we want to go back to Windows 10.
How does it work?
I already tried to install Windows 7 first… And then Windows 10 … BUT HOW DO YOU EXECUTE Windows Exe UNDER LINUX?
that doesn't work… What are we doing wrong?
Please tell us what we have to do to get from Linux to e.g. Windows 7 and from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
You don't even do this under Linux, you boot directly from a Windows 10 installation medium.
Preferably directly from a Windows 10 installation medium

The media creation tool can't be used under Linux, i.e. You have to download the Win10.iso and burn it as a DVD or create a bootable USB stick.
The iso doesn't work, does it?
But. This is the image of the installation media.
How do you e.g. To create a bootable USB stick with Windows 10 under Windows, you can read here: https://www.linux-bibel-oesterreich.at/2019/10/18/windows-10-bootstick-unter-linux-ganz-einfach-erstellen/
Burn DVD? Do you still do that today? Most devices don't have removable media drives at all. I would drag the image to a USB.
Google or Youtube will tell you how to do this
Of course it brings something. You have to slide the ISO onto a USB stick, e.g. With Balena Etcher or - if it is possible and you prefer - burn it to DVD.
Mine, of course, on Linux.
You don't run an .exe file at all, but boot directly from an installation medium, usually a USB stick. To make the storage medium bootable, you have to flash an .iso file onto the USB stick with a program such as Rufus. You can download the iso file for Windows 10 https://www.microsoft.com/...ndows10ISO, Rufus https://rufus.ie/de/ (there are also other programs for this). No data will then remain on the USB stick, so you should save it beforehand. The boot sequence must also be changed in the BIOS so that the USB stick is the first to boot…
Stupid… I don't have any USB sticks… And 2. I only have 500 and + 800 and megabyte CD's?
The CDs are not enough, but USB sticks can be bought fairly cheaply… Unfortunately, there's no other option than dvd or USB stick…
What do you need Windows for? If you use such old hardware (CD Rom?) Windows 10 will hardly be usable if it is running at all.
Young what old hardware? I didn't mention NIX about it
I thought because you mentioned something about CD Rom. But anyway, what exactly do you need Windows for?
I have A LAPTOP! With CD drive…
Exactly such devices are hardly produced today. Most of the reasonably current notebooks no longer have DVD or CD drives. But again why Windows?
Why do you ask? Every CURRENT LAPTOP and EVERY CURRENT PC… As you put it, WINDOWS 10 HAS!
Please indicate which notebook you have exactly. So manufacturer and model / type designation. Without this information, nobody can really help you.
Besides, what you say about Linux is just not right. I only use Linux and have the latest hardware. Often you don't actually need a Windows system. For many areas of application there are suitable programs under Linux and it often runs better than Windows on somewhat older hardware.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A500
Intel Core Duo CPU
Nvidia GeForce GT 230M
930 GB HDD for Windows + everything else (programs + games etc.)
4 GB of RAM
Isn't a laptop where it's worth it if you have it…: It crashes when you play for a long time… (is not designed for gaming, is actually an office laptop)
… And if I watch videos for too long, then he also crashes…
E.g.: I watch videos 24 hours a day… Then at some point he just crashes
No wonder, and Windows 10 won't help you either. Your notebook came onto the market in 2009. So it's 12 years old. Windows 10 won't run on it. You can be happy that it can still be used thanks to Linux.
Burn a Windows 10 ISO file on a stick or on a CD (you can download it from Microsoft). You can then simply open the boot system and then select the stick or CD. You can then easily reinstall Windows.
You can also go old-fashioned and burn a DVD from the ISO file.
It is true that old people are always said to have slept through technical progress, but here it is exactly the other way round.
You should be happy to have a modern operating system with Linux, so why go back to the Stone Age?
