Hello everyone, I accidentally installed Qubes directly into my laptop’s storage, so now I can only use Qubes on my laptop. Since I want to use Windows on my laptop, I would like to do a clean install of the laptop (no Qubes data needs to be left behind). However, I loaded the Windows installer onto the USB and tried to boot from the USB to the Windows installation screen, but only Qubes would boot. I tried it on another laptop and the USB Windows installer works. How can I clean install my laptop with Windows booting from USB? advice please.
You have to change the boot order in Bios. There is a option to boot from usb first. You have to press a key after press the on button. Normally it is Esc or F11. You can google it for you laptop.

thank you. I tried researching all the basics and trying to do it, but I couldn’t do it, so I wondered if there was a method specific to Qubes. Maybe something went wrong. I’ll try it again.
It’s not related to Qubes OS, you should check you BIOS boot settings further.
