I had windows 8.1 on my laptop, and I tried to upgrade to windows 10, which broke it. I put Ubuntu 14.04 on it (wiping out everything else) and I would like to go back to windows 8.1. Is there a way I can do this?

  • Use the normal methods Windows allows you to use to install their operating system. What those are makes this a Windows related question. Use a DVD. Or a USB if Windows can be installed that way. Or use a restore partition. – Rinzwind Mar 20 '16 at 21:18
  • For the ISO: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8 – TheWanderer Mar 20 '16 at 21:21
  • UEFI or BIOS, instructions are different. – oldfred Mar 20 '16 at 22:43

Use the windows installation disk provided to you with the laptop or buy a windows disk or download a windows version . Install the normal way and you'll have windows in place of ubuntu

  • It will replace Ubuntu or live alongside it? Also, I only have about 30gb of space on my hard drive, so I need to conserve all the space I can. – yaakov Mar 21 '16 at 23:44
