Dell Optiplex 9020 and Clean Installation of Windows 8.1/Windows 7
Hello All,
I have recently Order Dell Optiplex 9020 with Ubuntu.
Now I want to clean install Windows 8.1. I know that this is possible on desktop but as Ubuntu already installed How I clean Install Windows 8.1.
Do I need to set any thing for this into BIOS ?
If I clean Ubuntu does it cause any issue ?
Please provide your suggestion and steps for this.

Follow my Windows Reinstallation Guide/A Clean Install of Windows:

You may securely wipe the drive with Ubuntu before Windows installation:

A Windows 8.1 bootable USB will install in SecureBoot/UEFI.

It means If I have bootable DVD for Windows 8.1 or Windows 7.
I insert into Drive and boot from that drive and install.
Is this work ?

It should work with the Windows 8.1 DVD however if you issues with UEFI and SecureBoot see here:
