Tried to Boot USB with a Windows 10 iso made by Windows 10 media creation tool, but it won’t let me overwrite the partition Qubes is installed on, as the partition is not formatted as NTFS, “the partition is of an unrecognised type”. Does Qubes need to be formatted to NTFS to install Windows? How do I do that?
Note that this question is not QubesOS-specific.
