So I have this laptop that is pretty new, but just extremely slow when trying to do anything and has been since the day I bought it. It had Windows 8.1 at the start which I eventually just let update to 10. There wasn't any difference and since it had no CD drive I made a bootable USB with Ubuntu to install that.
The problem is some of the programs I want to use with it that I have on my main computer aren't compatible or run terribly with Wine. So now I want to switch back.
I tried to make multiple bootable USBs for Windows XP, 7, and 8 (to see if I can just go back to 10 from that) by downloading ISOs. None of them would work when I go into F2 and try to boot from USB, it just flashes and takes me back to that menu with no progress. I don't know if I did it wrong somehow but it was with the same program that I used to make a bootable for Ubuntu, "rufus2.8".
The laptop is an ASUS X200MA.
Can anyone give me some help with this, I just want to install any version of Windows I can from XP and up. No dual booting just a complete re-installation of the OS.
