I printed the Windows 10 iso file to my flash drive and set it as priority through the bios, but when I reset and restart the system, it works as usual, not through flash. (Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia)

use ventoy for that

when you reboot, the default behaviour is for the system to boot from the main internal drive. you have to adjust the boot order in the BIOS setup, or press the key that gives you Boot menu options, pick uefi usb device

No. I get this error on the first boot screen.

and ur trying to add windows to the same disk that u have linux on?
Actually, I know I shouldn't do this, but I got this error when I tried to partition the disk, so I tried to install it on the same disk. And I don't know how to solve this error.
sand glade
because if so, this has to be done very precisely using the same boot mode for each
if u can do it on a separate disk, it's better

corrupted iso, misconfigured BIOS
sand glade
ok np. it can be done, but after Windows successfully installs, you will need a linux live usb to repair the linux bootloader
dusk plover
the cleanest solution is to nuke the drive , install windowz 1st then mint
you can install windoz after mint, but it requires extra steps

you can either backup your data then clean install or try this
I decided to install Windows first and then install Linux as dual boot thank you guys. @dusk plover @sand glade

it's way faster and cleaner tbh
sand glade

good. u may need to wipe the disk first.
because the Windows installer cant read ext4 and thinks there's no space.
so u need to put mint iso on ur ventoy (cuz it has gparted) AND also the windows installer iso.
boot live to gparted, then do Device> make new partition table>GPT approve, then exit.
then reboot ventoy usb to the Windows installer and u should be good to install Windows.
if u dont want to use ventoy (though u should) you'll need a) a usb stick for gparted-live or mint iso and b) a usb drive with windows

go to ventoy live-boot white splash menu, press enter on mint iso, then choose Verify checksum

The number string is not the same as on the website. Probably my ISO file seems to be corrupted. I don't really understand how it happened. Anyway, is there any way to get this ISO file into Ventoy without corruption?

do u have a copy of the downloaded iso on ur hard drive?

verify it from command line

either it wrote to usb bad, or it downloaded bad

sha256sum /path/name.iso

The ISO file on the hard disk matched the fingerprint on the site.

k simply delete the one on the usb
then recopy it.
dont pull out the usb or restart too soon

When I try to restart the computer without removing the USB-Flash drive, it stays at the shutdown screen. So the computer does not shut down and restart. So I have to pull the flash drive, is there any way to fix this?
sand glade
it might still be writing. wait at least a full 60 seconds after the copy
otherwise the iso gets ruined
same thing for the Windows iso. u may have errors on it
dusk plover
same thing for the Windows iso. u may have errors on it
I'll make a copy for both of them again

change in Bios to grub-ubuntu
I changed it, but it only happens once. The next time, only the operating system I closed last time opens.

sounds like you used the temporary boot menu. u got to go into the BIOS and shift the proper thing to the top of list. then save and exit.

I re-set it in the boot menu but I need to assign a priority OS separately. If I select Windows Boot Manager in this OS selection section, Windows boots directly, but if I select Ubuntu, an OS selection screen pops up, but this only happens on the first reboot after the boot reset and not afterwards.
sand glade
the OS selection screen which has a title of grub 2.x something, that is what you want to always show.. so ya just edit the BIOS options to have that at the top.
