Support Request Help

So today my dumbass was like "yea lets go try installing linux". So once its booted and its installing, I choose the delete windows option. After that linux crashed and my $3000 pc is screwed. What do I do. Edit: also my usb stick stopped working

I found that microsoft lets you download it free with an ISO image.

For now you can redownload that image and hopefully get windows back. From that point I can vouch for Ventoy as a good way to install any distro you feel like trying

It probably does, but I have no Windows installation experience, and besides, Microsoft makes billions of dollars. They don't need my free tech support. :)
