I want to install Windows 10 because I want to play some games and on Ubuntu is not that playable so I downloaded a iso file from Microsoft page and now I don't know how to install! I mounted the iso file and ran Setup.exe but it says

Windows installation cannot be started from the current operating system. To install Windows, boot from the installation media, or upgrade from a supported operating system and restart the installation.

Is there any other way to boot Windows 10 iso from Ubuntu?

  • The best way to boot a Windows ISO is to use Universal USB Installer and dump it on a USB Stick. What you are trying to do will shoot yourself in the foot, because when you reboot, you won't have access to that ISO file anymore. –  Jan 15 '17 at 10:54
  • On a different note, have you looked at Wine? – Nonny Moose May 27 '17 at 01:38

  • You need a medium (some kind of drive), where you install from. It is possible, but much more difficult to install via the network from another computer. – sudodus Jan 15 '17 at 09:17

If you want to install Windows without removing Ubuntu, you could download Virtual Box and you can run Windows inside Ubuntu, but the gaming performance may not be good as real metal.

  • Then you can can make a bootable DVD or USB, and then boot from it. It is the way of installing any operating system – Aslam Jan 15 '17 at 09:10
  • Yeah your right! I can do that but i can't use a USB because i don't have enough space and i don't have a empty DVD! But thanks for the suggestion! – Itaketedue Jan 15 '17 at 09:26
