  1. Switching from Linux back to Windows if you erased everything


    Hello,

    I have done quite stupid thing and installed Linux without a lot of research about it and now i am facing problem that some programs which i need is not supported by Linux nicely as it was saying in the beginning. So my problem is that I installed Linux on PC without any backup plan. So I am wondering if it's possible to return to my licensed Windows if it's completely erased. I don't have license key or staff like that, I had Windows 10 built in when I bought my PC.

    Thank you

    :)

    linux partition erased by windows update

    Well, it happened
    again
    . The unallocated 252.00 Gib section is where my old ubuntu installation's /home folder resided. Luckily this time I already had copied all my important files to another distro in another harddrive. Or else I'd have to spend 3 days recovering everything
    again.

    Will microsoft ever fix it ?

    Technical:

    As windows supported only 4 main paritions, I had only 1 HDD & wanted my /home folder on separate drive from my / due to distrohopping habbits, I partitioned the drive in the following way.

    • linux /
    • windows C:
    • windows diag
    • extended
      • linux /home
      • windows D:
      • windows E:
