You need to buy a copy of Windows (which will set you back $200-$600) and you will need a USB CD/DVD drive (another $60-$100). With this you can install Windows. That being said you can ask the Geek Squad (or any Computer repair store) to install Windows for you (they should have a USB CD/DVD drive) but you will still have to buy a copy of Windows.



Depending on what version of Linux is on your laptop, you can get help to make it do what you need it to do. Linux is about choice, and you have more control and more options available to you with Linux then you do with Windows. In some cases all you need to do is move things around on your computer to make them more Windows like (so you know how to access them). You will see a performance hit on your laptop after you switch back (just so you know) but ultimately the choice is yours and you need to decide what your willing to live with.Changing computer operating system from LINUX to WINDOWS?
I would suggest buying an external disk drive to use then return after it has served its purpose. You have to have a physical bootable copy of the operating system to install it on a computer. From either a usb key or a disk. This is very difficult. However if you wanted to bring it to the geek squad they can do it. but you will be paying for the service and the operating system, which will be a couple hundred altogether.Changing computer operating system from LINUX to WINDOWS?
Hi, I have a lot of experience with Operating Systems, but I can best help you if you enable personal messages, this can be done by going to Edit My Preferences and selecting the box that allows people to email you.



We can get your problem fixed a lot cheaper then Geek squad can.Changing computer operating system from LINUX to WINDOWS?
buy a copy of windows + an external CD drive. windows wil cost you 200-300 $ depending on version and a dvd ecternal drive is about 100. an easier way to do it. is downloading usa-creator for linux and making a bootable linuxmint iso from ur usb. use linux mint instead of the mooblin or whatever linux came with ur device. i ahve been using linux for 4 years.Changing computer operating system from LINUX to WINDOWS?
If it is new, I would see if it can be returned and replaced with one that comes with Windows instead. Explain to them what happened and that you accidently chose the wrong Operating System. It doesn't hurt to ask. I really don't think you want to buy Windows and try to install it yourself. Even if you take it some where to install Windows, you will be paying for a new operating system and the cost of installing it.
