I've been using Linux after worrying about Windows 10 being deprecated, but honestly, I'm not enjoying it at all. I want to switch back to Windows. I have a Windows 10 boot drive ready, but my computer isn't recognizing the SSD where I plan to install it. Any suggestions?

Switching back to Windows is totally cool if you're not vibing with Linux. But first, could you share what distro you're using and what's bugging you? Sometimes, people just haven’t found the right one yet, and there are some great options out there that might be better for you!
You might want to figure out if the issue is that Windows doesn't see the SSD at all or just the partitions on it. That could help narrow down the problem and get you back on Windows sooner!
Yeah, definitely clarify that! If Windows can’t see the whole drive, it might need to be reformatted.
You may need to format your drive with NTFS for Windows to recognize it properly. It’s worth checking that out before you proceed with the installation!
If you really want to explore, you could give AtlasOS or tiny11 a shot. They’re lighter and may perform better on older hardware, plus you get the Windows experience!
Exactly! Not all distros are created equal. Some can be pretty user-friendly.
