I will have to uninstall Ubuntu from my computer and re-install Windows 11 because I need to run some applications. It seems that I can't work with a virtual machine because my software doesn't run well with emulated or virtual machines. I guess I will have to go back, so if I don't write an article on time today, my PC is being updated.

Great, could you write more about the updated specs about windows 11? I am hesitant to upgrade my operating system due to some bugs and issues. hoping that I will be guided in my plan in upgrading my operating system.
I bought my computer in Dec last year so it is not that old and it came initially with windows ten upgradeable to 11 with a free upgrade. I decided to install Ubuntu because it runs clean. Still, I think next install I will install Win11 and Ubuntu on the same computer so that if I want to go back to Linux, I can get in the same computer, or I will leave my old laptop with Ubuntu and only run Win on my new PC. I am still thinking and getting things ready before making the last decision and deleting everything. By to way, I have two computers, so if something goes wrong, I can troubleshoot my PC.
That is a good decision you took to re install windows.
That really good desisyon friend
Oh wow, that's alright. Sorry you software couldn't run well with the virtual machine
that is one of the reasons why I am switching back into Win, but that means I will now have another usage for my old laptop as well, so from my perspective all is good news in the end
Nice, that's a good way to look at things
You can have a dual boot. As you are already installing windows 11, you can also reinstall Linux Ubuntu after.
I have another laptop which was the old one and I have it as a backup that will keep on working with Ubuntu and I will use the new one with Win10 because Win11 is not compatible with a lot of old software
Have you taken a look into https://wiki.winehq.org ? WINE stands for Wine is not an emulator and runs windowed apps. I hope my comment comes through, as I experienced being filtered for no obvious reason.
Well, if you have a little storage space left over, you could go for dual booting. Then you've got both Windows and Linux and you can choose which to boot when you boot from a boot menu. I've been running that on my wrechbench (old laptop with no screen keyboard or touchpad, hooked up as a dryboarding project) for a while now. It's safer than a VM, and provides all benefits of full install (because it is basically)
