How can I switch back to Windows from Arch Linux?
Asked by

I'm having a tough time getting back to Windows because nothing seems to be working on my system. I was trying to install WoeUSB on my Arch setup, but I hit a wall with the error message "bash: yay: command not found." What can I do to fix this issue? Are there any other options available for reverting to Windows? It feels really frustrating right now!

If your goal is to get Windows back, you'll need a Windows setup disk. That's pretty essential for the process.

You have a couple of choices here. You can manually install AUR packages, but I recommend using an AUR helper like yay for an easier experience. Just look up the installation instructions on their GitHub page; it’s just a few commands to copy and paste. However, since you're new to all this, consider trying a user-friendly Linux distribution instead of Arch. It’s more geared towards experienced users.

Also, do you have your Windows activation key handy? If not, switching to a more beginner-friendly distro might be the way to go. Linux Mint, for instance, is only about 3GB in size and is much easier to handle than Arch. Check it out! Debain is also another option with a smaller net install ISO, and you can choose the packages you want as you build your system.
