I'm autistic and recently wiped my Windows installation, so now I'm looking for help reinstalling either Windows 10 or 11 from my current Linux setup. I'm not sure where my Linux is installed because my boot manager only shows Fedora. I'm currently using a system called Bazzite, though I think I have Arch installed too. I didn't intentionally wipe my Windows drive, so I'm a bit lost on what to do next.

You might want to try reinstalling Windows from a USB drive. Good luck with the process, it can be a bit tricky!
First, you should check if you wiped the actual Windows installation or just the bootloaders. Take a look at your drives to see what's remaining. If it's just the bootloaders that are wiped, you can repair them by booting from a Windows ISO. Just a heads up, that might overwrite your Linux bootloaders as well. The EFI partition is key here, as it’s where all the bootloaders for different operating systems go. Understanding how that works is crucial, or else any installer you run might mess up your other OS installations.
Where can I find good resources to learn about the EFI partition?
