Hello I'm Brandon, I'm sure there is posts online about how to do this. I can't find straight forward links or step by steps on how to get rid of Fedora 21 and install Windows OS instead. I don't want to dual boot or anything like that. I'm not familiar with Terminal inputs or anything like that. I've called microsoft, Geek Squad, even Staples lol. Do I have to delete linux first then try installing windows via usb or Disc? How do I go about deleting Fedora 21? Remember I'm not familiar with the functionality of this OS at all. Thank you for any help you can give!
LOL! Your laptop is cursed! The only way is to destroy it and buy a new one!!! Fool!! Another one bite the dust!!!

Brandon,
I work with Windows 7 quite a bit, and I've had to do this at home, unfortunately. Use the Windows installation disc to perform a custom install. It should detect all physical disks present. When you see the display of all disks, click each disk or partition and click Delete. That'll delete the partition/disk. Keep doing so until you have at least 20 GB free. Then, you can choose the free space to install Windows.
Hope this helps,
Dexter

You should be able do the Windows install from a n usb or dis, and the installation program will ask you about removing partitions and formatting the disk. At that point select the option/s to completely delete all partitions on the disk. The installer should then delete old, create new and proceed.
