Hey everyone! I currently have a Dell Inspiron 15 3558 running ChromeOS Flex, and I'm looking to revert it back to Windows 10 since Windows 11 isn't compatible. I've tried creating a bootable USB drive using the ISO file by changing the file extension to .bin and flashing it with the Chromebook Recovery Utility, but it doesn't show up in the boot options. My boot settings are UEFI with Secure Boot enabled. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just a tip: Before you change any BIOS settings or disk setups, it’s always good to have backups of your important data. There’s a chance you could lose files if something goes wrong during the installation.
You should create a Windows installation USB using the official Microsoft tool. Changing file extensions usually results in file corruption, so it's best not to do that. Here’s a link to get the tool: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
Just a heads up, if you’re on a Chromebook, the Media Creation Tool won’t work, so you're a bit limited there.
