How to De-Hackintosh my PC

[Bapple]

Hey guys,

I'm moving and there's a good chance that I'll be selling my computer rather than taking it with me, which means that I need to take Mac OS off and put Windows 10 back on.

I've created a windows 10 flash drive, and while my Asus Z97-M Plus recognizes the flash drive, I can't boot into it from the BIOS or the Clover boot menu. I'm sure some of you guys have had to do this for various reasons; is there a process you can point me to, or do you have any advice?

Thanks,
Bapple

I'm just guessing, but maybe your Windows 10 USB flash drive needs BIOS to be set to legacy boot rather than UEFI boot.

Thanks for message; I tried setting everything to Legacy boot but still just get a blinking underscore. I also replaced all the keys for my motherboard that I removed when I hackintoshed it, but no avail. It still boots into clover just fine, but won't boot on the flash drive.

I think I got it! I had the wrong settings on my flash drive; thanks for the help.
