Switching from Linux to Windows
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 that I bought with Ubuntu preinstalled because I needed it for school work. However, I no longer need it and I'm having a lot of problems trying to find good alternative programs for programs I want to install but only run on Windows or MacOS, and generally I have to troubleshoot a lot when trying to install and run even programs that run on Linux.
So I just want to wipe out Linux and install Windows 11, but since the OS already came installed in the laptop I was wondering if I'll run into any issues when changing to a new OS. I'd give an example so you know what I mean, I had another laptop with Windows 10 before buying this one, and since I needed Linux for school work, I removed Windows and installed Ubuntu and after a couple of uses all of the USB ports, WiFi and sound stopped working and I couldn't fully restore them, so I bought the one I have now. I'd like something like this not happen because I really need my laptop, but I also really need the software I can't get proper alternatives for on Linux, that's why I'm seriously considering switching to Windows.

Your system supports Ubuntu and Windows. Therefore, you should not running into any issue to switch operating system. Just purchase a Windows license and performing installation away.
