Windows 10: Reinstall Windows 10 over Linux Mint but no NTFS

My laptop came with Windows 10 Pro. I installed Linux Mint which occupies the whole hard drive. I want to reinstall Windows 10 Pro and remove Linux, but when I use the Windows USB installation disk, there is no NTFS on laptop so I can't install. Any ideas please?

Linux Mint Cinnamon to Windows 10

Mint is one of many variants of the free operating system called Linux. It is considered easy to use, but if you have invested in learning and using Windows for years, grasping it will be a bit overwhelming.

If your objective is to use your computer to get things done, you will need to have some basic knowledge of how Linux works in order to do that. Although Linux is much improved over the years, it still remains rough around the edges.

I suggest you load Windows 10 on the system since it more than meets the requirements and will be compatible with existing hardware and applications you own.

Step 1: buy Windows 10:

Step 2: Download and create a bootable copy of Windows 10, you will likely have to do this from a computer already running Windows:
